I have a situation like this myself. I want to query the registry the easiest way possible and then set the value of what I just queried. I am trying to use tieregistry and other mods like registry but I cant seem to get the syntax correct. Lets just say I wanted to get the computername like the other examples how cant I get that value and then set it to something else?

Since this is Perl, "There's More Than One Way To Do It." If it's specifically system name you're going after, you can go another way: use Sys::Hostname; my $cnam = hostname; Caveat: under some releases of Windows (both NT and !NT) it is possible for the system name, from the point of view of Microsoft networking, to be different than the system name from the point of view of TCP/IP. If this is so, I don't know which is returned by hostname. You'll just have to try it and see.
