Re: Re: Gods, Graves and the Windows Registry

Stubborn I say, just plain old fashion stubborn...also since these map directly onto the win32 API and since I'm writing the 'real' code in C++, it kind of seemed the thing to do. Other than that, no good reason!

Actually, Win32API::Registry maps to the underlying API more accurately than Win32::Registry. Just FYI. - tye	[reply]

Good to know! Thanks tye---I've found bugs on both sides because of exercising the other so to speak, so finding a different language that doesn't wander to far from the necessary roots is a good thing, at least for me in how I go about coding. --hsm "Never try to teach a pig to sing...it wastes your time and it annoys the pig."

I find that the Win32 API documentation often misses some important points and so experimentation is often very handy. So having a language like Perl that supports very fast ad hoc experimenting (especially with "perl -de 0") can be very useful in learning parts of the Win32 API. That was a small part of my motivation in writing the Win32API:: modules that I've done so far. - tye	[reply]
