Probably the best single piece of documentation with the module is the README file contained in the distribution. There are a few very simple examples about half way down.
Beyond that, the key to understanding how to use the module, is to understand the Win32 Permissions model. It is a very powerful, but also very complex beast. The book would probably be a good way to getting an understanding of the module and how to use it, but don't be surprised if it has to go into quite a lot of detail of the OS security model to do it.
Whilst you wait for the book to arrive, you could try the MS documentation....here is as good a starting point as any.
Good luck.

If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

I thought I was pretty well up to speed on Win32 Permissions, but there is a lot of information at the link you provided. I think I will have to spend some time reading up on that before I continue with my project. Thanks a lot!!

ChrisR,
I tried perldoc Win32::Perms and came up with nada. Then I started looking for documentation and got lucky. There is a README file installed with lot's of valuable information such as a FAQ. The list of constants and usage information about the module is all in the FAQ.
