in thread access 64bit registry from 32 bit Perl

goto C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 in explorer, double click on cmd.exe,

Only 32 bit processes can see it. It doesn't exist in a 64 bit process. Server 2003 x64 used for above example (I did apply the MS patch to enable sysnative on server 2003 btw). If I try a normal (64 bit) cmd.exe I get

C:\WINDOWS>cd Sysnative
The system cannot find the path specified.
