I am in the process of helping my NT compatriots set up a web server that will serve pages for students (I work at a college). This whole process of setting up accounts and web folders and such is done by my Perl account setup script. But, there is one thing that I need to do that I have not found a way to do. That is, set specific IIS permissions on these web folders. Basically, I do not want them to have the ability to be able to execute .asp, .pl, .php, etc. pages. This executable permission bit can be disabled for each folder from a GUI, but there does not seem to be a commandline way of doing it. So, I went searching for a Perl module that will allow me to hook into the IIS specific permissions; but I came up empty on Google, CPAN, Roth, and Super Search.
     So, my question is, is there a way to do this from Perl? Is there a module out there that will help me? How much do you hate IIS?

Thanks,
Jeremy
