I presume you mean Win32::Registry. According to the first line of that module's documentation, it's obsolete. Win32::TieRegistry is recommended as an alternative. Here's an example using Win32::TieRegistry:
use Win32::TieRegistry;
$Registry->{"LMachine/Software/MyCompany/MyProduct/$key"} = $strval;
#or
$Registry->{"LMachine/Software/MyCompany/MyProduct/"}{$key} = $strval;

Setting values while creating sub-keys requires somewhat convoluted syntax, but is documented.
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter=>'/');
my $ms= $Registry->{'LMachine/Software/Microsoft/'};
$ms->{'Junk1/'} = { 'Junk2/'=> {'/Junk3' => ['JunkVal','REG_SZ']}
+ };
This (tested) code will create the Junk1 key under Microsoft. Under that, under subkey Junk2, you will find the Name Junk3, which will contain the value "JunkVal".

Thanks, that worked great. I have everything in my searchlist that I needed.

Ditto ikegami's reply. Win32::TieRegistry is great, it makes the Registry work just like a hash. So creating a new value is just like creating a new hash entry. | [reply] |
I tried it and then went and looked in the registry and it was not there.

Have you created the "upper levels" first? You might want to post your code too...
