Greetings

This is a quick one:

I have the following code which grants group full access permission to directory level and all files and folders below this directory.

The code works fine in W2K environment, however, it doesn’t in WinNT 4.

Any ‘Perls of wisdom, Please’ on how to convert and get this code to work with WinNT4.

Many Thanks 
Use Win32::Perms;
sub AddGroupToDir
{
    my ($group, $dir)=@_;
    my $perms = new Win32::Perms($dir) || die "\n$^E\n";
    my $counter = $perms->Get(\ my @list);
    print "\nAccount '$group'\t Path " . $perms->Path() . "\n";
    $perms->Add("$group", FULL|FULL, ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE_TYPE, OBJECT_I
+NHERIT_ACE | CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE);
    if ($perms->Set())
    {
        Win32::MsgBox("Account: '$group' was garanted Full ACE permiss
+ion to: '". $perms->Path() . "'",0x00000000|0x00000040|0x00000000,"Op
+eration Successful");
    }
    else
    {
        Win32::MsgBox("This particular operation has failed\n\n***PLEA
+SE CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATOR***\n",0x00000000|0x00000040|0x00000000,"
+Operation Failure");
    }    
    $perms->Close();    
}
