Afternoon Monks! New to perl...I am having a bit of a problem when attempting to pass a large text file to powershell and from powershell a registry value is placed in a defined location hklm:\software\policies. Powershell seems to not be able to handle files in excess of 45kb. Once the registry key is created it cannot be added to or modified. Also, Unfortunatly the registry value must be much larger. So my real question is " Is there anyway to split up a .txt file in perl and then pass multiple arguments to powershell so that it reads the text file as a huge string and not individual submissions. Perhaps a buffer is needed to store such large values? Is there any alternative to powershell which can handle larger .txt files Thanks
