Title: RE: Running Perl Script through Windows 2000 Task Scheduler

Hello,   I'm having a bit of a problem using the Tie::Registry module. I recently upgraded to perl 5.6.1 and I can't get a script working that I had working under perl 5.002.   $old = "c:\\foo;"; $new = "c:\\bar;"; $temp = $Registry->{"//$pc/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment//custom_path"}; $_ = $temp; s/$old/$new/i;   $temp = $_;       For some reason the script will not work if I have : within the value for $old.  I don't get any errors, it will not replace the value of c:\foo with c:\bar.  If I set $old to just foo, then the replaced value will look something like c:\c:\bar (assuming the original value was c:\foo).  I also noticed that if I set the $old value to "\\p;", I will get the following error:   Can't find unicode character property definition via main->; or ;.pl at unicode/ Is/;.pl line 0   I guess I'm using a option switch, but I'm not sure how to override it.  I'm using version 0.24 or Tie::registry   Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks Dan
