Hi Monks,

I have an assignment about parallel port using perl.
I searched CPAN and found Device::ParallelPort.
Installing this module is successful.

But then I realized that it also requires Device::ParallelPort::drv::linux.
But when I run "make" for this module, I have this error message:

.... and so on.


my code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Device::ParallelPort;
use Device::ParallelPort::drv::linux;

my $parport = Device::ParallelPort->new('linux');

$parport->set_byte(0, char(255));

I'm a newbie to UNIX system and perl, but very eager to learn. Please shed some light on this problem.
