in thread Unusual error in Win32::SerialPort (Missing REQUIRED setting for BAUD)

It was my fault. The code was in a subroutine where $baud_rate was passed by reference and used as if it were passed by value. After correcting the mistake the following construct worked perfectly: 
 
$Serial->{"_L_BAUD"}{$baud_rate} = $baud_rate;
$Serial->baudrate($baud_rate);
