Let me begin by saying that I'm fairly new to Perl - although an experienced PHP developer. I'm also not (generally) a Windows user.
I'm using Win32::IPConfig for a perl script that updates IP addresses on Windows boxes to match those stored in a central CSV table for network maintenance purposes. Most of the machines at the office are Windows XP so it's working great. There's a number of Windows 7 boxes on which this script will not function and that number is set to increase in the future.
My question is whether Win32::IPConfig will be updated with Windows 7 compatibility or whether I should start looking elsewhere for a solution (possibly finding a workaround). I only need to be able to read the machines IP, gateway and netmask from the script so presumably I could pull these from the registry instead. As a newcomer to Perl I don't feel especially confident in doing this, so I'd really appreciate any help/advice you might have.
