Subject: Win32::TieRegistry uses 'SetDualVar', but should use Scalar::Util::dualvar
SetDualVar appears to be a very old module from 1995, which has been replaced by the standard module Scalar::Util::dualvar.

Yeah. And Scalar::Util isn't available on many versions of Perl that Win32::TieRegistry works fine on. :) The development version of Win32::TieRegistry doesn't require either module, though.

module, though. I was preparing to post a patch that switched to using dualvar. However, if that's no longer needed, that's fine. Where is the development version available?

The existing code only uses SetDualVar if it's available. My proposed change would be to make it use Scalar::Util::dualvar if it's available. It shouldn't affect what versions of Perl Win32::TieRegistry works on.

Yes, that would be fine and appreciated. I've been extra swamped at work and only making very slow progress on moving my CPAN modules to hosting where I can work on them much more easily. So the development version is not currently available anywhere, but I hope to change that "RSN".
