As of March 98, there are two perl extensions dealing with registry. Win32API-Registry is low-level, Tie-Registry is built around Win32API-Registry, providing really excellent perl API to Windows Registry programming. Latest versions of both extensions are here at CPAN (we use v 0.12).

• Download and install Cygwin 'Usertool' and YeP-perl core distribution.
• Download combination of that extensions we have build for you. Simply unpack the archive and copy the whole tree to your /qub directory, that contains YeP-perl Core distribution. We use this plug-and-play style when distributing YeP-perl extensions.
• Documentation reside inside the Tie/Registry.pm and Win32/Registry.pm. If you need more documentation (we were satisfied with just reading .pm's) - download the original distribution from CPAN.

Tie::Registry has no tests (but it works ;-). As to Win32API::Registry - you may test the package with

cd /qub/t/t.Win32API-Registry
runtests.bat
