Having troubles with registry 1

[timgerr]

I am trying to connect to a remote registry and list all the file under a folder (for lack of a better term).
This is what I want to do,
1. connect to another computer.
2 list all the folders from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Updates\\WindowsXP\\SP2

I want to see what the names of the folders are. I have scripts that can read the keys but not the folders. I am new to Perl and have had success in the past. If you could steer me in the right direction, I thank you.

I don't really mess with Windows' registry files, but take a look at the module Win32::TieRegistry. This module will put your registry into tied hashes for export.

Thanks for the response, I have looked at that and it will not give me the folders, just the keys.

I know it is not your answer in perl, but why not use reg.exe from the windows resource kit.

@QUERY = `reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Updates\\WindowsXP\\SP2`;

I had to do this with WMI FYI here is the code.

$Class = "WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}//timothyg-02/root/cimv2";
	$Wmi = Win32::OLE->GetObject($Class);
	@Registry = in $Wmi->ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_QuickFixEngineering");
