I need to convert binary SIDs (Microsoft Security Identifiers) to the
text format - the S-1-etc-etc format.  I have Dave Roth's Win32::Perms
package but the binary SIDs are from a domain that I cannot see using
Win32 - my domain trusts it but it does not trust mine.  Win32::Perms
can't look up the SID using the account name as I have to run the Perl
script using a user from my domain, not the foreign one.

I can get the binary SIDs using LDAP queries as a user in the foreign
domain.  Now I need to convert them to text.  Can someone help me?  I
looked inside perms.pm to see if there was a function for doing the
conversion, but I assume the underlying .dll is simply calling the
Microsoft API.

Any help would be appreciated.
