hello everyone
i get this strange error

The system could not find the environment option that was entered here

when i tried to access the registry via a webpage what's even more curious was that my perl scripts previously running on NT4.0 had no problems.... this happened only when i upgraded to Win2K server
here's the snippet of the code straight from the documentation 

use Win32::TieRegistry ( Delimiter=>"/", ArrayValues=>1 );
$Registry->Delimiter("/");                  # Set delimiter to "/".
$swKey= $Registry->{"LMachine/Software/"} or die "$^E\n";

[download]


and that's where it died. can't get further than this.. of course, the proper permissions have been set to allow the anonymous Internet user (IUSR_MachineName) to read the appropriate keys...

any idea why and more importantly..how to solve?

Edit Masem 2001-07-18 - Added CODE tags
