Re^3: Using the Serial Port

If you are using ActiveState Perl, I believe you can use their PPM (Perl Package Manager) utility to install this module.

At a command prompt, type 'ppm'. This will bring you to a 'ppm>' prompt. Then the command 'install win32::api' should download the proper files and install it for you. (it's been a while since I've used this and I can't test it at the moment to make sure it works). However, if you DO have problems, type 'help' and the PPM will give you a list of commands.

Hope that helps!
