| Subject: | Don't require write-access to the registry |
The Test::Smoke::SysInfo module on MSWin32 accesses the registry to
scrape some system information. By default Win32::TieRegistry requests
read and write access, which fails when you are not running as an
administrator. The attached patch uses read-only access and retrieves
the required information even when running as a normal user.
