Re: Perl->Win32::CommPort->COM ports->Kernel32->ftdi driver

My guess is that Win32::SerialPort isn't using the CreateFile API, or is using it in a way that doesn't allow to specify COM ports beyond 9. I guess you have two possible approaches - the first is the way of lesser resistance by moving the USB device to a COM port below 10, the other is to investigate how to convince Win32::SerialPort to use "\\\\.\\COM10", which seems to be the extended syntax to access COM ports beyond 9.

You better get on the plane to Sweden, I am nominating you for the Nobel prize... I changed the COM10 to COM2 and all was well. You saved me from going to the dark side (visual C++). You are the wind under my wings.	[reply]
