Hello Perl_question,

You can use, easily, many different Strawberry installation you desire, just picking the portable versions on the site: then you go in the extracted folder and launch portable.bat file. If you are corious read the bat file to see what strawberry needs to run portably.

You will be albe to install the module you need in different Perl versions.

About the module it seems a bit aged and the tester's matrix show at least one installation succesful for Perl 5.20. There are very few tests anyway.

If you succeds please share your passes in this thread.

UPDATE: i succesfully installed the module under Perl 5.14 osname=MSWin32, osvers=4.0, archname=MSWin32-x86-multi-thread even if i had to skip the tests:

The tests for 'Win32::SerialPort' failed. Would you like me to proceed
+ anyway or should we abort?

Proceed anyway? [y/N]: y
