Two quotes from the very beginning of the Win32::Registry documentation:

obsolete, use Win32::TieRegistry

and

NOTE: This module provides a very klunky interface to access the Windows registry, and is not currently being developed actively. It only exists for backward compatibility with old code that uses it. For more powerful and flexible ways to access the registry, use Win32::TieRegistry.

So, why don't you just use Win32::TieRegistry?
