Since perl has an "unpack" statement nearly identical to C, that should
work. If I get it working and there is any interest, I'll post it.
This week, I'm in class learning Python - what's another programming
language.

packed. The SID is binary encoded into the 'standard' format for SIDs
in CIFS, then binary encoded as per the ldap rules.

Yes, we have C code that handles that. Doing it in perl will be another
matter...
lib/util_sid.c:sid_parse() in the Samba3 sources might help.
