in reply to Windows Security

Have a look at Win32::FileSecurity - Manage FileSecurity Discretionary Access Control Lists in Perl - last updated 28 Nov 2013.

I found this book helpful (even though it was published in Oct. 2001): "Win32 Perl Programming: the Standard Extensions, second edition" by Dave Roth. Website: http://www.roth.net/books/extensions2/ -- Chapter 11 deals with security & permissions.

And I presume you could "shell out" to the Windows PowerShell if necessary.

    Additionally:

    Have a look at Win32::OLE (e.g., create a shell, and execute commands)

    Have a look at Win32::Perms (http://www.roth.net/perl/perms/) -- although it is dated 2002. (This module is discussed here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=win32%3A%3Aperms )

    Roth has another book, "Win32 Perl Scripting: Administrator's Handbook," which may be more suitable to your tasks.
