In addition to BIshop's excellent response, be sure to install
the latest version of Tie:Registry. The one that comes with
ActiveState Perl doesn't work properly.


The current version (as installed from ActiveState via PPM) 
is I believe 1.24. Just reinstall it.

 Hello All,
 I am writing an perl script. I cann't figure out and have been going
 through the docs, but cann't find exactly what I need.
 A way to access Oracle Parameters as they are set up in the Win2k
 registary. I am specifically thinking of ORACLE_HOME. I do know how to
 obtain an environmental variable/parameter with $ENV{}.
 But the ORACLE_HOME is not an environmental parameter per se.
 I have a workaround by setting it up in the enviroment, however I would
 like to write this script with the aim at it being machine unspecific.
 (Jared, hope you can answer me on this. Want to get a copy of your book,
 unfortunately with the exchange rate and import taxes etc it will cost me
 R590,00. Quiet a chunk of the ole budget, maybe early next year.)

RE: Win2k Perl accessing Oracle Parameters?

Cary,

Here's what my search of Registry revealed:

PPM search Registry
Packages available from 
http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer:
Win32-Registry-File [1.09] Perl interface to MS-Windows 
registry
   files.
Win32-TieRegistry   [0.24] Powerful and easy ways to 
manipulate a
   registry [on Win32 for now].
Win32-TieRegistry-Dump  [0.03] dump Win32 registry tree
Win32-TieRegistry-PMVersionInfo [0.2 ] store in Win32 Registry PM $VERSION 
info
XML-Registry[0.02] Perl module for loading and saving 
an
   XML registry.
PPM


The version that usually comes with ActiveState Perl is 0.23, not 1.23 as 
I implied before.

The version you want is version 0.24.

HTH
