Re: modify searchlist in registry

[larryk]

Apart from the typo, it's because you missed out CurrentControlSet... the full "path" should be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.

P.S. The value is a hash so if you wanna look into it you'd be better with:

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;
use Win32::TieRegistry;

my $key = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\
+Parameters';
my $parameter = $Registry->{$key};

print Dumper($parameter);

Although that will give you _loads_ of info!

perl -le "s,,reverse killer,e,y,rifle,lycra,,print"

thanks, that works just fine, i can now retrieve the search list with;

my $key = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\
+Parameters\SearchList';
my $search_list = $Registry->{$key};

but how about changing the value?

just assign value to $Regitry->{key};, and registry will be updated via internal "tie" magic.
