There was some recent discussion about serial ports and Perl. http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00013.html
But I did not see any resolution.
Did anyone end up porting either Win32::SerialPort or Win32API::CommPort as Reini suggested?
I need to talk to a thermometer via a serial link. The protocol is not very complex.
Could I just use a system call to stty to set the baudrate and then pipe the thermometer comand to /dev/ttyS0 and read the response from /dev/ttyS0 using file handles?
Reini - you suggested adding cygwin support for Device::SerialPort would be the easiest route. Do you still recommend this? I am not very familiar with Windows API library, but could I just use Win32::API to call some already existing entry points in Windows?
