TieRegistry REG

jenwrenfer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm having problems printing out REG_BINARY values using the GetValue() function.

Is there a conversion process I need to perform in order for it to print out the string correctly? If so, what is it?

Thanks.

If it is binary data and you want it to look like it does in Regedit you need to unpack it as hex. `print unpack "h*", $binary_data;` [download] cheers tachyon	[reply] [d/l]

First, I'd advise you to have a look at How (Not) To Ask A Question. You should tell us your OS (Windows), the module you want to use (Win32::Registry) and show your code. Then, we'll be very happy to help you. -- zejames	[reply]
