Gentle Readers,
Special thanks to $Bill, Josh, Jack, Bowie, Howard M. and Martin T. for their efforts. It seems like my difficulty is not so much with Perl as it is with IE and the registry. IE follows an obscure set of rules when creating reg entries for Trusted Sites. As an example, when
http://www.dnr.state.wi.us
is set as Trusted, the reg entry under HKU/<user SID>/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/ZoneMap/Domains is
.../Domains/state.wi.us/www.dnr//http (value = 0x00000002)
The breakdown between domain (state.wi.us) and "child" (www.dnr) is different from others with the same number of, er, pieces. It's these rules that I need to uncover. separating the chunks of the URL is pretty straightforward.
OTOH, the URL
https://www.nfej-qmbo.ca.gov/Something/Else.asp
gives me
.../Domains/ca.gov/www.nfej-qmbo//https (value = 0x00000002)
Note that while the DNR URL gives three "bits" to the domain, the ca.gov URL gives only two. Most URLs I've come across follow this rule. I just happened to trip across the three-bit exception (and I'm sure it's not the only one) while fiddling about. This makes it obvious that there are at least two different rules being followed--perhaps more.
Finally, the URL
http://www.ab.cd.ef.domain.net
yields
.../Domains/domain.net/www.ab.cd.ef//http (value = 0x00000002)
So, it seems I'm asking my question in the wrong place. Sorry 'bout that, Chief(s). Does Microsoft have a Q&A forum like this one?
Thanks again to all who tried to help me with this.
Deane
