We have a perl script in place that we use to set permissions on our Win NT 4.0 system(s), but can't figure out how to set the permissions if we have to add a Domain to the user (name).

The script uses Win32::FileSecurity module to access NT filesystem permissions. Setting permission however is done in two steps:

1.) A permission mask is generated from user friendly settings

while (($usr,$mask) = each %PERMISSIONS) #set the permissions

{$PERMISSIONS{$usr}=MakeMask($mask);}

2.) Permission mask is then applied to the file.

Set($file,\%$perm) ;

Here is a copy of the script that we are trying to execute: 
use Win32::FileSecurity qw(MakeMask Get Set);     #file premissions
sub set_permission{
    my($file, $perm)=@_;
    Set($file,\%$perm) ;
}
%PERMISSIONS=("CTSDEV\\Domain Admins"=>"F",
              "Everyone"=>"C",
        "Production Control"=>"F",
        "Systems & Technology"=>"C"); 

while (($usr,$mask) = each %PERMISSIONS) #set the permissions 
    {$PERMISSIONS{$usr}=MakeMask($mask);}
set_permission("\\\\ctscolfpadev\\acpt\\phrem\\bin\\test.exe",\%PERMIS
+SIONS) or die "Just couldn't\n";

Any suggestions or help with this would be great!! Thanks...
