I want to put some registry subkeys into array @Print_Printer, but I can't get it to work. I am using both Win32::TieRegistry and grep for the first time this week. Please be gentle. I don't know why the TieRegistry documentation "Listing all subkeys and values" example uses m#^/# for it's grep search criteria. Here is an example that I'm playing with on Windows XP and Windows NT4: 

use strict;
use Win32::TieRegistry ( Delimiter=>"/" );
$Registry->Delimiter("/");

my (@Print_Printer) = ();
my ($sysKey, $Print_Printer);

@Print_Printer = grep( m#^/#, keys( %{$sysKey->{"LMachine/SYSTEM/Curre
+ntControlSet/Control/Print/Printers/"}} ) );
foreach $Print_Printer(@Print_Printer){
   print "$Print_Printer\n";
}
