in thread Windows convention for per-user configuration files for a Perl application

But you don't select the username "jcw". You just write to and read from HKEY_CURRENT_USER!

Now, if you wanted to set per-user items in the Win32 registry for other users, then I'd say "Give up".

Note that I'm not advocating (nor discouraging) the use of the Registry for stuff like this. I find it a "mixed blessing" and have arguments on both sides.
