in thread serial port bridge (virtual)

I have found a solution all be it not very elegant.

I'm not using perl at all.

I used mkfifo to create two files

then "cat /dev/ttya | tee /fifo.file1 | cat > /fifo.file2 &"

     cat /dev/ttya | tee /fifo.file1 | cat > /fifo.file2 &

    You can most likely get rid of the second cat, because '| cat >' is the same as '>', wrt functionality: 

    $ echo foo | cat > myfile
$ cat myfile
foo

$ echo foo > myfile
$ cat myfile
foo
