Hi Ross,

i have the same problem of accessing the registry via Perl. I tried to
compile the libwin32-0.18 module from cpan but it was a desaster.

As a quick solution i used wrapped calls of reg.exe (from the resource
kit) via system() and backticks but that's a very dirty solution.

I don't understand how many Perl versions there are on the way
(ActiveState etc).

Daniel Risacher posted a message some time ago:
search the headers for "Win32::API perl module" perhaps this might help
you. I did not yet test it.

Good luck,
Heiko
