You don't have to go through the process of Opening the key and then reading it when
you use
TieRegistry.
Here's how I use it in one of my scripts (CLSystems is a key I create when the program
is first
run to save settings into, to be read and used the next time the program is run,
according to the
'SaveSettings' value):
$RegKey = $Registry->{'//Hostname/CUser/Software/CLSystems/Netfiles'};
$Interval = $RegKey->{'UpdateInterval'};
$SaveSettings = $RegKey->{'SaveSettingsOnExit'};
$Search = $RegKey->{'SearchType'};
TieRegistry makes the Registry look like a large hash, which can be read using hash
syntax.
Hope this helps,
