in thread Using the Serial Port

Did you only download the module, or did you actually install it?
Read the documentation provided with the module. The least you probably have to do is:
perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
To get things running!

    I have run the makefile.pl but hadn't run the test and the install. here is the command and part of the reaction: perl install.pl ... Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\API.pm Skipping C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32API\CommPort.pm (unchanged) Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32API\API.pm Writing C:\Perl\site\lib/auto/Win32/SerialPort/.packlist ... Now that I did so, I still get the 'shout': Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::API in @INC (@INC contains: . .\t .\lib ..\lib C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32 C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32API C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib) at ..\lib/Win32API/CommPort.pm line 5 Pay attention that the perl, fing the FILE, it has a problem with the object! Do you have any ide how to solve this problem.
