The Setting:
ActiveState 5.6.1 running on WinNT 4

I have read the documentation for Win32::TieRegistry Win32::TieRegistry
Which I am sure is complete but which I fear I am far too obtuse to understand and so now find I am more confused than ever.

The Problem:
use Win32::TieRegistry( Delimiter=>"/" );
$remoteKey = $Registry->{"//$pserver/LMachine/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Print/Monitors/HP Standard TCP/IP Port/Ports/$portname/"} || die "Can't read the port key on $pserver: $^E\n";;

Note that the key I want to reference is "HP Standard TCP/IP Port".
Since the delimiter is set to "/" I assume Perl is reading this as two seperate keys and returns the die statement "Can't read the port key"
I have tried "//", "\", '//", '\", etc with no luck.

Could someone please point out how to get around this.
I am sure I will kick myself when the obvious is revealed.

Thanks in advance.
