I get the feeling that Win32::FileSecurity tries to do the inheritance stuff automagically. I use Win32::Perms for my work as it seems to expose more functionality. Doing the same script with Win32::Perms seems not to have the same problems as the code you posted. Here is my Win32::Perms version:

use Win32::Perms;

$cart='TestingFolder';
mkdir $cart || warn $!;

# Create a new Security Descriptor and auto import permissions
# from the directory

$Dir = new Win32::Perms( $cart ) || die;
my @perms;
my $perm;
$Dir->Get(\@perms);
my $index = 0;
$Dir->Dump;
do {
    $perm = $perms[$index];

} while ($perm->{'Account'} ne 'Everyone') and (++$index);

# One of three ways to remove an ACE
print ($Dir->Remove($index));

$Dir->Set();
$Dir->Dump;

ps you may notice that I don't use $Dir->Remove('Everyone'), This is because I could not get it to delete any ACEs. So I compute the index of the ACE in the ACL and delete based on that. I will investigate this further.
