Re: Unable to use Device::SerialPort on Mac OS X

How many perl do you have installed? With or without threading (perl -V)? Try uninstalling Device::SerialPort then reinstalling. Make sure you use the same perl for run your program and for install Device::SerialPort.

Hi On your advice I looked at the versions of Perl on my Mac. If I do a 'which perl' I get /opt/local/bin/perl. However I also found another version of Perl at /usr/bin/perl. So I found the following: This does not work /usr/bin/perl < app.pl This works! /opt/local/bin/perl < app.pl My Mac is rather old and I have messed around with it on numerous occasions. Both versions appear to be v5.8.8. So I cannot explain what is broken, but at least my little app works now. Mark	[reply]

On your advice I looked at the versions of Perl on my Mac.

If I do a 'which perl' I get /opt/local/bin/perl.

However I also found another version of Perl at /usr/bin/perl.

So I found the following:

This works!

/opt/local/bin/perl < app.pl

My Mac is rather old and I have messed around with it on numerous occasions. Both versions appear to be v5.8.8.

So I cannot explain what is broken, but at least my little app works now.
