how the hell can I pass @ARGV values to the perms add command as constants?

the question you should be asking is: how can i convert @ARGV values to constants for use with the add command?

i haven't tested this, but it *looks* right...

#!/usr/bin/perl
require 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings;
$|++;

use Win32::Perms;


## takes directory path and permissions as args
my( $path, @requested_perms ) = @ARGV;

my $dir = Win32::Perms::new( $path )
    || die $!;

print "\nPath: " . $dir->Path();

## map args to valid ace permissions
##   found at http://www.roth.net/perl/perms/#Table1
my %args_to_perms = (
  READ => READ,
  WRITE => WRITE,
  FULL => FULL,
  ALL => ALL,
  CHANGE => CHANGE,
  DELETE => DELETE,
  EXECUTE => EXECUTE,
  NO_ACCESS => NO_ACCESS,
);

## build full perms list
my $perms;
$perms |= $args_to_perms{$_} for @requested_perms;

## add access control entry
$dir->Allow(
    'MYDOMAIN\bloggJo', 
    $perms, 
    ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE_TYPE, 
    OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE | CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE
);

$dir->Set() 
    ? print "\nDone\n";
    : print "\nFailed\n";
