How would you define "readable"?	[reply]

Eliya, I am looking for a "RWX" type of result. Anything that would be easy for a person to read. For a 32 bit machine I used the "Win32::Perms($obj)" and then "$Perm->Dump(\@List)" to make the HASH readable. but "$Perm->Dump(\@List)" does not work on a 64 bit machine so I only have the HASH. Thank you, Ace jr And it is a Window 2008 box. Ace jr	[reply]

Thank you, I will look into it. This looks like Unix, will it work on a Windows 2008?	[reply]

Sure, why not, but windows permissions are much more complicated than that, so if `$ ls -loanh C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT -rwxrwxrwx 1 0 394 2011-03-24 20:44 C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT` [download] satisfies, then it satisfies :) If it doesn't, there is always cacls/Win32::FileSecurity `$ cacls C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT BUILTIN\Administrators:F NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F BUILTIN\Administrators:F BUILTIN\Users:R` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
