Maybe simpler to delete all of the Win32::API files from your perl installation, then re-run 'make install' and make sure it does the job properly. If the problem persists you might need to check some of the other @INC paths - maybe there's a Win32::API in one of them that's stuffing things up. The fact that 'perl -Mblib t/test.t' runs ok tells us that the problem is simply one of getting the files installed correctly. Then we'll be able to see just how much milage we get out of it and Win32::SerialPort on Cygwin. I think there's a good chance it will function just as well under Cygwin as under "native" Win32 - but I'm only guessing :-) > just for the record, here is my perl -V return. maybe theres something > obviously wrong in my setup, that im not aware of? > Couldn't see any cause for concern - except for the reference to '64int'. I don't know how Win32::API would work on a 64-bit architecture .... not very well, I suspect, if at all ..... however the rest of 'perl -V' suggests that it's a 32-bit build, anyway.
