Very strange things happen



Hi All,

To read the content of a registry key  I use :

my $ww = IO::File->new("< /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/shbox/freepdfxp/fpDir");
my $Reg_FreePdf_Path = <$ww>;
$ww->close();

It works but a subsequent call  system("cd /cydrive/c/whatever")  crashes with a core dump.

The strange thing is that if I  use another key it works it don’t crash

The key which works is:
 /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Office/12.0//Word/InstallRoot/Path (Reg_SZ)

But if I use
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/shbox/freepdfxp/fpDir  (Reg_SZ)

Do some one has an idea whats going wrong here ??

Have a nice time
Norbert
