Did you try the 64 bit ActivePerl beta build for Windows?

 

 
<http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePer
l&type=beta> 
http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl
&type=beta

 

It is listed as "ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 Beta" on that page.  The MSI
installer itself is still 32 bit, so some of the registration it does
isn't quite correct, but all the modules included should be full 64
bits.  That version should not be subjected to file system or registry
redirection.

If this doesn't work, then please let us know.  Otherwise it won't be
fixed for the release.

Cheers,

-Jan

Subject: x64 Registry

 


I've been reading the thread titled "Perl Script on x64 Windows"
regarding running a Perl script on an x64 system to read the registry,
but the script being redirected to the 32bit side.  I tried several of
the code snippets from the thread without any of them working
successfully.  Was wondering if anyone came up with a working solution
to read the x64 registry?  Thanks. 

$remkey =
$Registry-> {"//$server/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows
NT/CurrentVersion/Hotfix/"};
