I have some code which uses Win32::TieRegistry.

Make sure you have permission to modify the registry on the box. It will require you to have local or domain administrator rights, which you can usually do like this:

$output = `net use \\\\$server\\ipc\$ \"$password\" \/user:$domain\\$l
+ogin`;


if ($output =~ /success/) {
     do_something();
} else {
     die "could not connect to $server!\n";
}

This assumes you're using ActivePerl on a Win2K box, by the way. I have no idea how this works from a UNIX box.
