error while installing win32::Registry module

[Jyoti]

Dear All,
I was trying to run my script getip.pl . But when i run this script it
gives following error

C:\strawberry\perl\Test>perl GETIP.pl
Can't locate Win32/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
C:/strawberry/perl/lib C:
/strawberry/perl/site/lib C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib .) at GETIP.pl line
1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at GETIP.pl line 1.

To resolve this error I downloaded module Win32-DriveInfo-0.06 from
cpan.org and used following steps to install but again shows the same
problem.


C:\strawberry\perl>cd Win32-DriveInfo-0.06

C:\strawberry\perl\Win32-DriveInfo-0.06>perl Makefile.pl
Writing Makefile for Win32::DriveInfo

C:\strawberry\perl\Win32-DriveInfo-0.06>dmake install

Is that everything you wanted to say? If so, it seems that everything was
successful. Are you using Strawberry Perl or ActivePerl or something else?

Hi Jyoti!

Next time, please hit reply-to-all. You've sent a reply only to me. I'm CCing
the list.

hello shlomi,
yes...but i'm not able to run script in which I use win32::Registry.

Well, as opposed to some languages (BASIC/VB-Classic, Fortran, etc.) Perl is
case-sensitive.

You need to do:

<<<
use Win32::Registry;

my $obj = Win32::Registry->new();
In the exact case.

Happy Spring Holidays.

Correct steps ... but wrong module :-)

You needed to install Win32::Registry, not Win32::DriveInfo. You can grab
the Win32::Registry source from
http://search.cpan.org/~jdb/Win32-Registry-0.10/

Cheers,

It means that perl is unable to find the module Win32::Registry. So,
you need to either install it or add it to @INC for perl to find it.
From checking CPAN, I read that Win32::Registry
(http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Win32::Registry) is now obsolete use
Win32::TieRegistry (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Win32::TieRegistry)
instead.
