Perl script to determine if Windows Firewall is on

I was wondering if there is a way to detect if the Windows firewall is turned on for the machine in which the script is running? If so, is there a way to detect the firewall's settings?

Thanks!

I see that there is a Windows Firewall Log Parser module, but nothing for detecting settings and such.

Hopefully someone else will know.

I think I found my solution. I believe this can be done by looking at the Windows registry key -

SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\SharedAccess\ \Parameters\\FirewallPolicy\\DomainProfile
