Re: Multiple strawberry Perl distribution organization problems and the hunt for Win32::SerialPort installation that works

Older computer systems would usually come with one or more serial ports. Most new computers that you can buy in stores today do not come with any serial ports. Does your computer have any serial ports?

I vaguely remember having trouble installing Win32::SerialPort on a Windows system that does not have any serial ports, but I don't remember the details. The closest open issue that I could was Win32-SerialPort: Install fails when Com1 is not present. I'm wondering if you might be hitting this type of scenario.

Not sure how to reply to everyone, but this is for all who replied. Thank you! I appreciate your time. I installed Strawberry version 5.12 32-bit, which plays nice with my existing modules so far. So I'm just going to scrap the 64-bit for now because I really need the serial port access most of all. After that, I'll work on getting another 64-bit installation.	[reply]
