In "Win32 Perl Scripting: An Administrator's Handbook", Roth writes a section (I believe it's in chapter 3) about Win32::NetResource, Win32::Perms, and Win32::NetAdmin. He mentions that with Win32::NetResource, you can not set user-level share permissions. With Win32::FileSecurity, you can set the permissions on the folder itself. However, those are not the same as the permissions that are allowed when the folder/directory/file/etc. is accessed from a sharepoint (or at least that has been my experience over the last 6 yrs with WinNT.). Please correct me if my thinking is wrong (I could use a slice of humble pie). I looked over the SHARE_INFO_502 C++ structure on MSDN, and it too does not show any way of specifying sharepoint permissions. The only way I know of so far is to set them manually. The program I'm writting right now is for adding lots of users (I can post the module I've written to house most of the code for the server-side.) via RPC. Basically, a student sits down, enters their info, and requests that an account be created. I've seen it done in ASDI, but I wanted to try something different. Also, this setup (after some tweaking), gives me the option of running it on as many servers as I want without adding network traffic (since the RPC.pm only blocks locally). I've been workin on this project for a year now, mainly because the netadmins here in the school district said it can't be done. There are basically 3 parts. The server, the module (Student.pm), and the client. The server is like 6-10 lines (because all the server routines are packed in the module). The module is about 250 lines (because it has routines shared by both server and client). The client portion is also about 250 lines (if you count the routines that are used from the modules, it would amount to about 300-400 lines). If anyone wants to look at this madness code, I'm willing to give it out. It's meant to work with SIS (Student Information System) dumps from the LAUSD system.

Just as a note, I don't believe this is just a Win32::NetResource problem, but something involving the structure of WindowsNT.
