Hi, I've to write a perl script to know if the local users group has permissions on the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE'. How can I do this? Using regedit I can see this by right clicking on the key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE' and selecting 'Permissions', a window comes up which has the list of users and groups. Thanks in advance, hozy
