Perl module to uncheck the "inherit permissions"?

I see in the Win32::FileSecurity module ways to get/set the ACL information...however, it can't override permissions that are inherited...

anyone know how I can use Perl to UNcheck the "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propogate to this object" on a directory??

unless I'm missing it, I'm not seeing a function in Win32::FileSecurity, Win32::File or Win32API::File that does this Smiley Sad

thanks in advance!

Never used this .. but this may help:

hmmm...I stumbled across that module, too...not quite sure if it would apply to directories since the description says "Note that, like the rest of Win32-Security, it currently only provides support for files." ...but other references to the Win32 modules allude to it potentially having problems in a networked environment (for instance, it doesn't like the domain accounts), so it sounds like a major headache to deal with for essentially a one-time migration script...

but I also found a cool windows tool called setACL.exe that specifically allows for changing the protection (check value of that box), so I think that might work for my needs...

thanks anyways :-)
