Help with creating registry keys.

Hello,

I`m a NetAdmin and I use Perl to automate various tasks. I am
currently trying to get it to create registry keys so I can push out
an update, but I keep getting an error that`s confusing me. Here`s
the error and a short script I wrote as a test.

ERROR:
Modification of a read-only value attempted at
C:/perl/site/lib/Win32/Registry.pm line 228.

SCRIPT:
use Win32::Registry;
$HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Open($root, "SOFTWARE\cj");
#I manually created the cj key in regedit.
$root->Create($newkey, "testkey");
$root->Close;

Help with creating registry keys.

I solved my own problem. I had the variables backwards!

The create line should have been:

$root->Create("testkey", $newkey);

FYI...
