Monks,

What I am trying to do with this following code is to be able to assign permission to folder and sub folder level for a given NT account.

Basically on the command line I type in the script name and then followed with the required permission.
example; c:\myscript READ WRITE

However it doesn't work, because the perms add command expects the permissions to be a constant. My question is; how the hell can I pass @ARGV values to the perms add command as constants? Or is what I am trying to do possible?

In dave Roth’s second book he uses the constants in side the add command (i.e not through variables) and on the perms home page web site @ Roth.net there isn’t one example that shows how this can be achieved.

Can someone please enlighten me on how can I achieve this. 
use strict;
use Win32::Perms;
my $path = 'c:/temp';
my $folder_ace = shift @ARGV;
my $subfolder_ace = pop @ARGV;
my $perms = new Win32::Perms($path) || die "\n$^E\n";
print "\nPath: " . $perms->Path(); 
$perms->Add('MYDOMAIN\bloggJo', $folder_ace|$subfolder_ace, ACCESS_ALL
+OWED_ACE_TYPE, OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE | CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE);    
if ($perms->Set())
{
    print "\nDone\n";
}
else
{
    print "\nFailed\n";
}

Many Thanks for your help in advance.
