Re: Problem: Win32::SerialPort

Well, which is it CommPort or SerialPort? ;^)

Seriously, though, show a bit of code so we can get a clue. Even if I had the package installed on my machine, I wouldn't have a way to reproduce the problem without some code to do so. Generally when using a well-used module, you can assume that any errors are on your side of the fence, which is another reason it would be good to show some code.

The module Win32API::CommPort is the low-level guts that underlie Win32::SerialPort, which probably explains the confusion. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply]
