How can I run the regedit.exe from a Perl script on Windows 2008 Server?

I have yet another subtle problem on Windows :(

The following one-line perl script doesn't work:


perl -e 'system('regedit.exe /s C:my.reg');'


It really runs regedit.exe tool (I'm sure since I tried to run it w/o '/s' and saw confirmation dialogs), but it doesn't create a key in the registry.

I tried to run

regedit.exe /s C:my.reg

in from windows shell (cmd.exe) and it works fine.

The original command works fine on Windows XP, but doesn't work on 2008 server.
So I suspect that this is system-related issue.
