 Hi All,


To read the content of a registry key  I use :

my $ww =3D IO::File->new("</proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/shbox=
/freepdfxp/fpDir");
my $Reg_FreePdf_Path =3D <$ww>;
$ww->close();

It works but a subsequent call  system("cd /cydrive/c/whatever")  crashes w=
ith
a core dump.

The strange thing is that if I  use another key it works it don't crash

The key which works is:

/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Office/12.0//Word/Inst=
allRoot/Path (Reg_SZ)

But if I use
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/shbox/freepdfxp/fpDir (Reg_SZ)

I get a core dump

Do someone has an idea what's going wrong here ??

Have a nice time
Norbert
