All you really need is the (somewhat undocumented) /e flag on REGEDIT and it will dump the hive for you in native *.REG format ready for reimport. 

C:\>regedit /e active.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState

C:\>type active.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\ActivePerl]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\ActivePerl\635]
@="D:\\Perl\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\ActivePerl\635\Help]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\PerlScript]
