Mac::Serial.pm is a Perl5 module to interface MacPerl and the Macintosh serial ports using the Serial Driver. This library uses a simple object-oriented programming style to provide a set of tools to control the serial ports of the Macintosh and communicate through them. This library defines Mac::Serial objects, entities which contain the values for serial port configuration parameters. Using a Mac::Serial object's methods ports can be opened and closed and data can be sent out of those ports or received through them. In addition, various configuration settings are under program control including data transmission protocols (baud rate, data size, etc.), hardware and software flow control methods, and the size of the buffer allocated to the input driver.
