Hi,
There are many things I don't understand about my Vista64 box - and this is one of them.
I have both x86 and x64 builds of ActivePerl 5.12.2 (build 1202), and I have this minimal script: 
use warnings;
use Win32::TieRegistry;

my %Registry;
use Win32::TieRegistry ( TiedHash => \%Registry );

print "$_\n" for keys %{$Registry->{LMachine}{SOFTWARE}};

[download]
I don't understand why that script produces one list of keys when I run it using the x86 build, and a different list of keys when I run it using the x64 build. Some keys appear in both lists, other keys in just one list or the other. Why is that ?

Both perl builds have the same versions of Win32API::Registry (0.30) and Win32::TieRegistry (0.26), and I'm running (as Administrator) both perls in the System32/cmd.exe shell.

Cheers,
Rob
