I am trying to write to the registry using example code that I got from le-
berre.com
I obviously did something from here coz this does not work.
--- Start code ---
print ("Inserting registry settings [@ARGV[$i]]\n");
my $Register = "thiskey/test";
my $hkey;
$HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Open ($Register,$hkey) || die ("Cannot open
registry\n");
undef my $garbage;

$hkey->Close;

getopt::std
Greetings, I am trying to do command line processing using the above lib, but am not quite getting the syntax from the PLEAC perl project. For instance I have the following args allowed: -s x.x.x.x | server.domain.com > server is ip/host -o outfile > output to outfile -h > display help. I understand how to do the help option but not the top two that require an additional arg. ie I call "dowhatever.pl -s 192.168.1.1 -o didthis.txt" How would I go about getting this working?
