I have been scouring around the back-alleys of Win32 Perl web-sites looking for an example of obtaining the RID's (Relative ID) of NT Groups located on a PDC. I came up with nothing direct. I pieced together a dirty hack where I can get a user's attributes, and, from there, pull the RID of the user's primary group.

Here is the snippet of code to get a group's RID from a user's primary group: 
if(Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttributes('DOMAIN', "user", \%Hash)){
    print "The user is in the primary group with a RID $Hash{USER_PRIM
+ARY_GROUP_ID}\n";
}

But, I do not want to go scouring the PDC for user's in each singular group. I want a way to say: 
$groupRID = getRID($groupName);
print "$groupName has the RID $groupRID.\n";

Though, I may be asking too much. Are there any Win32 guru's out there who have found a solution to this query.
