I' using the following code to read the windows registry and create a startmenu shortcut accordingly.

sub MakeShortcut{
use Config;
use Win32::API;
use Win32::Shortcut;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
use strict;

use Win32::TieRegisry ( Delimiter=>"/" );
    my ($key);
    if ($configUser || Win32::IsWin95()) {
        $key = 'CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explor
+er/Shell Folders//Programs';
    } else {
        $key = 'LMachine/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Exp
+lorer/Shell Folders//Common Programs';
    }
    my $folderdir = $Registry->{$key};
    my $folderpath = "$folderdir\\$shortcutfoldername";
    print "Creating shortcut folder $folderpath\n";
    mkdir ($folderpath, 0777);

    print "Making shortcut Tk Solitaire\n";
    my $LINK=new Win32::Shortcut();
    $LINK->{'Path'}="\\Tk Solitaire\\Tk Solitaire.exe";
    $LINK->{'Arguments'}="";
    $LINK->{'WorkingDirectory'}=\\Tk Solitaire;
    $LINK->{'Description'}="Tk Solitaire";
    $LINK->{'ShowCmd'}=SW_SHOWNORMAL;
    $LINK->Save("$folderpath\\Tk Solitaire.lnk");
    $LINK->Close();
}

When I try to run the above code on my Windows2000 Advanced Server system using ActiveState ActivePerl version 5.6.0.623 I get the following error.

Can't locate Win32/TieRegisry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: E:/Perl/lib E

e/lib .) at link.pl line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at link.pl line 8.

I thought Win32::TieRegistry was included in the distribution of ActivePerl? What's wrong here?
