in reply to POE & Serial Ports

Head on to CPAN and look for serial. Then go look at POE::Loop (and POE::Loop::*) and write your own POE::Loop (::SerialPort maybe).

update: maybe you don't need to create your own Loop, maybe you need your own Wheel to talk to the SerialPort (that sound about right).
