Greetings Fellow Monks,
I am fairly new to Perl and have been asked to write a program for serial communications. I think that Win32API::CommPort will fit my needs but I'm having a difficult time implementing it. I need help in opening the COM port and defining the settings and I also need to be able to allow the user to set the baud rate, all the other instruments we use have the same settings except for the baud rate. I also need to be able to watch the data that comes across the serial port. If anyone could point me to some reference material or provide some advice both would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and trouble
