Works for me, I see the key/value as specified in `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dkanagar` . Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, I can see it in regedit.exe, I also see it via the command line: `D:\>perl tie.pl D:\>reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\dkanagar /s HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dkanagar Version REG_SZ 1.00` [download] If you have regedit open before you run the script it won't dynamically update when changes are made. 'View'->'Refresh' or the F5 key will refresh it for you.	[reply] [d/l]
