This isnt working for me. I am just trying to print out a value from the
registry and its not working.
############
print
$Registry->{"LMachine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/NGClient
"};
############
do I have to further specify what i want to print? maybe like the registry
value type?

The following code works for me. I use it to read and write
ODBC Datasource names on remote machines.
This will set the server property on the DSN named $DSN_name
to $value on server $server:
###################
# BEGIN CODE SNIP
###################
use Win32::TieRegistry (Delimiter => "/", ArrayValues => 0);
# Set value
$Registry->{"//$servername/LMachine/Software/ODBC/ODBC.INI/$DSN_name/ser
ver"}
= $value;
# Print value
print
$Registry->{"//$servername/LMachine/Software/ODBC/ODBC.INI/$DSN_name/ser
ver"};
##################
# END CODE SNIP
##################
Set $server to a valid Win2000 machine that you have admin
permissions on, change the registry path to the key you want
to change, and specify your value.
