I am having a rather curious problem looking for a subkey on a remote registry using Win32::TieRegistry. I am looking for a subkey under "HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services". I can see the subkey w/ regedit when I connect to the remote box but it never shows if I print out the hash. I would think that if this were a permissions problem I would never be able to connect using regedit. The error returned from regLastError() is "The system cannot find the file specified". Of course, everything works fine when the script is run on the remote box. Any suggestions?? 
use Getopt::Long;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
use Win32API::Registry qw( regLastError );

my ($machine, $help, $remote_key, $entry);
my $root_key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/a
+llisbus/Parameters/Session";        

GetOptions( "h" => \$help,    
        "m" => \$machine,    
        );

if ($machine) { $machine = "//$machine" }    
$Registry->Delimiter("/");
$remote_key = $Registry->{"$machine/$root_key"} or die "Can't read $ro
+ot_key: ", regLastError(), "\n";

while (($key, $value) = each(%$remote_key)) {
    if ($key =~ /allisbus/) {
        print "Found: $key\n";
    } 
    print "Reg key\t: $key, Reg value\t: $value \n";
}
