in reply to Win32::SerialPort install error on Strawberry Perl PDL 5.24.0.1-32bit

Hi Monks, does anybody knows if Win32::SerialPort works with Win7x64 and the Perl Version noted in the title?

Hmm, try it out?

I receive the following error after fetching from CPAN:

Joke: this message means that you must put your computer in the microwave for 5 minutes on 100% power, then drown it in the sink

Read Bug #113337 for Win32-SerialPort: Does not work on 64-bit Windows

One of the things it says is to use a 32-bit perl on 64-bit windows if you want this module to do stuff

    It does not work for x32 too. CPANTesters says 5.14 is working. I will try it. THank you!
      It seems to install after trying a
      perl nomake_install
      Lets try it ;)
