I am trying to simply send a message to another XBee device using the XBee module. I have cut and paste from the module page but cannot get past the simple error below. syntax error at moduletest.pl line 12, near ") {" Execution of moduletest.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Also, does anyone have some working code to send data to and from XBees? Perl examples seem to be non existent : ( 
use strict;
use Win32::SerialPort;
use Device::XBee::API;
use Data::Dumper;

my $rx;
my $serial_port_device = Win32::SerialPort->start ("tpj4.cfg") || die;

 my $api = Device::XBee::API->new( { fh => $serial_port_device } ) || 
+die $!;
 if ( !$api->tx( { sh => 0, sl => 0 }, 'hello world!' ) {
     die "Transmit failed!";
 }
$rx = $api->rx();
 die Dumper($rx);
