If the command line tool works perfectly, why not just use your perl script to accept arguments and run the command-line tool through exec() or backticks or something?

    I am mainly doing this as a learning excersize. And, I'd rather run my setperm.pl script than remember that long find command (not too hard I know, but I hate remembering stuff).

    The next step is to create some samba scripts to set permissions on a domain share, create new samba users, etc so I figured I'd try to get the basics down first.
