Hi,
We have a Perl program that ran well on all Windows platforms so far.
When we tried it on the newly released Windows Server 2008 R2, it stopped working. Investigation revealed that the problem is that calls to read registry values using TieRegistry returned undefined values.

Is this a known problem? Did anyone run into a problem accessing the registry on Windows Server 2008 R2 using TieRegistry?
I'm running the program as administrator, so I don't think it is permission problems. The program works great and read the registry correctly on Windows 7 and Vista.

A sample script I wrote to access the registry also fail: 
  use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter=>'\\');
  my $reg = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\TEST\\Value1";
  my $val = $Registry->{$reg};
  print "val: ".$val."\n";

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
splintor
