This code would work:
use strict;
use Win32::Registry;
my $server = 'MyServer';
getIEVersion($server);
#############################
sub getIEVersion {
#############################
my($server) = shift;
use vars qw ($HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE );
my $Registry_HKLM;
$HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Win32::Registry::Connect($server, $Registry_HKLM);
unless ($Registry_HKLM) {
print "Unable to Connect to HKLM on $server\n";
}
my $IE;
$Registry_HKLM->Open('SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer', $IE);
unless ($IE) {
print "Unable to open SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer on
$server\n";
}
my ($value, $type);
$IE->QueryValueEx('Version', $type, $value);
if ($value) {
print "IE version = $value\n";
}
else {
print "Error: unable to read from Version value.\n";
}
} # getIEVersion
