This is really not something you want to use Perl for. I would create a registry file (.reg) of the keys you want to change; use regedit to do that.

You can then use regedit again to insert the registry values into other workstations, or there are a few other ways to do it as well. The best way would be to use System Policy Editor from the DC so that the changes are made as people log in. (See O'Reilly's System Policy Editor, or the Microsoft KnowledgeBase for more information on doing that; it's not too complicated). Another, similar method is to build a batch script file to import the .reg file as a logon script; that's also not too complicated.

The last method I would use would be Perl. This is one case where the Swiss Army Chainsaw is the wrong tool for the job.
