Can anyone help me out. I need to connect to a remote machine on the network and add a sys env variable through TieRegistry. I want to prompt for the machine name and also the name of the key and value. Using strict doesn't let me prompt for this. Can anyone please help???? ~Ray~ here's what i have.. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $Reg;
use Win32::TieRegistry ( 
    TiedRef => \$Reg, 
    ArrayValues => 1, 
    Delimiter => '/', 
    ':REG_' 
);

# Asking for machine name and info to be added to the sys env var
print "What host would you like to connect to? ";
chomp($Host = <STDIN>);
print "What name would you like for the Sys Environment Variable? ";
chomp($Key = <STDIN>);
print "What value would you like to assign to this variable? ";
chomp($Value = <STDIN>);

# this is the system environment variable area
my $SysEnv= $Reg->connect("$Host", "LMachine/System/CurrentControlSet/
+Control/" . 
    "Session Manager/Environment/")
    or  die "Can't connect to $Host 's registry or can't open Registry
+ key, Session Manager/Environment: $^E
+\n";

# create a new value and set it's data
$SysEnv->{"/$Key"} = "$Value";
