in reply to Remote access to windows machine

Make sure you are opening the registry read only (KEY_READ) ( the default is read-write). I did this a while back but don't have the example code handy right now. If you posted your code, someone might see something. Also, you are saying it fails but don't tell us what $! and/or $^E contains -- again posting your code will help.

As for remote execution on remote Windows machines sysinternals have some tools to do that.

    Hi, my code is based quite heavily on the code provided here. The extra work I have done involves basically dumping this information into a database.

      Depending on what database you're trying to feed, you might want to check out cpan:DBI. That way you let someone else handle all the lowlevel communication stuff.
