Delimiter or no Delimiter, that's the question

Gurus,

I have a problem with TieRegistry in a code module. The TieRegistry code 
is used in several methods in the module, but the rub is this: in at least 
one method, I need the Delimiter set to '/', while in just one method it 
needs to be undefined.

As currently coded, TieRegistry gets "used" at the module level like this:

use Win32::TieRegistry (Delimiter => '/');

I'm wondering, is it possible to "use" TieRegistry inside the subroutine 
that requires the undefined Delimiter, so that the ones requiring the 
*defined* Delimiter can rely on the module-level statement, while the one 
requiring that Delimiter be undefined can rely its own use statement? That 
is, can I do this:

# At the module level...
package wsinfo::Hardware;
# ... other use statements ...
use Win32::TieRegistry (Delimiter => '/');

# methods that use TieRegistry with the Delimiter

sub different_sub {
   use Win32::TieRegistry;
 
   #do its thing with undefined Delimiter
}

# more methods that use the Delimiter...

Just to keep things interesting, I need this rolled out by end of day 
tomorrow (eek). 

Thanks,
