Need Help??

akm2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to create Windows Shortcuts uising Perl. By reviewing code designed for IndigoPerl, I found-out you can look through the Registry for system path info.

The module the IndigoPerl uses to read the Registry is, DSUtil. I cannot find this module for ActiveSate Perl. Any help would be great.

Useful modules (standard with ActivePerl) Win32::Shortcut Win32::TieRegistry NB: Win32::Shortcut doesn't appear to have any POD documentation. I know there is some info in Dave Roth's book on Win32 Perl Programming. For the other, try `perldoc Win32::TieRegistry` from the command line. (or look at the html docs that come with ActivePerl). By the way: do you just want to find the System path? You could probably use `$ENV{SYSTEMROOT}` Hope this helps! Osfameron	[reply] [d/l] [select]

CPAN is searchable. If you hit it and type in 'Registry', you're likely to hit Win32::TieRegistry =) handing out fishing poles since last week	[reply]
