I have a problem with the KEY_READ Win32::Registry function in a package/class object I'm creating.

The specific code is:

my $regKey = $Registry->Connect( $self->{ _csii_server_name }, get_registry_path . "\\SQL" ,{ Access => $Registry->KEY_READ } )

The error I get is:

Can't call method "KEY_READ" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/cmpny/cmpny_SQLSERVER_INSTANCE_INFORMATION.pm line 75.

The rest of the code for the module etc is in my public scratchpad OzVegan's Public Scratchpad I'm having a hard time trying to pin down why KEY_READ is not being recognised even though it works no problems in a standard Perl script. I'm missing some logic or something :-/
