Re: Conditional use of Win32::TieRegistry

in reply to Conditional use of Win32::TieRegistry

Uncomment this line:

   my ($Registry, $IEKey);
[download]

and it will work. $Registry was not defined while using strictures.

Output (linux):

No module
None of that stuff here
[download]

Update:

Not tested on Windows, though (not available here). If that still fails, you have another problem. Perhaps, you need to call the import() class method:

eval { require Win32::TieRegistry;
               Win32::TieRegistry->import();
};

Update2: My try on a cleanup, after getting hands on a Windows system:

use strict;
use warnings;

our $Registry;

BEGIN {
  $Win32::TieRegistry::__LOADED = eval {
    require Win32::TieRegistry;
    Win32::TieRegistry->import( Delimiter => '/' );
    1;
  };
}

sub use_mod { $Win32::TieRegistry::__LOADED; }



print "On $^O\t-> ";
if ( use_mod ) {
   my $IEKey = $Registry->{'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Inter
+net Explorer/Main/'};
   print 'Show status bar: ', $IEKey->{'/Show_StatusBar'}, "\n";
} else {
   print "None of that stuff here.\n";
}

__DATA__

On MSWin32     -> Show status bar: yes
On linux       -> None of that stuff here.

Yes, it works on Linux. But now it fails on Windows (the $IEKey variable should contain a value like Win32::TieRegistry=HASH(0x1dd000), but it is null).	[reply]
