Hey all, I have a question about the below script I am writing/copying.
#!\\server\perl net use w: \\server\perl use Win32::Registry; my $Register = "Software\\INTEL\\LANDesk\\VirusProtect6\\CurrentVersion"; my $hkey,SubKey; #Why is this needed?? $HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Open($Register,$hkey)|| die $!; # I understand $Register, but why the use of $hkey? What is being stored in this scalar? $hkey->DeleteKey("Clients"); alarm(5); # Is this a correct way to pause the script? $hkey->Create("Clients",$SubKey); #Same question here. It relates to the declaration above obviously but what is being stored in $SubKey? $hkey->Close(); net use w: /delete Wouldn't it be just as easy to use: use Win32::Registry; my $Register = "Software\\INTEL\\LANDesk\\VirusProtect6\\CurrentVersion"; $HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Open($Register)|| die $!; $hkey->DeleteKey("Clients"); $hkey->Close(); Thanks AD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
