9 years ago Looks like you need to install Win32API::CommPort? https://metacpan.org/pod/Win32API::CommPort
In any event, this github repo is for changes to the Perl Mongers website www.pm.org. We're unable to provide additional Perl support here. Thanks :)
Hello, I am new to perl and would like to use a program a friend provide that would enable me to talk to my ham radio thru a usb/serial cable. Using W7, installed This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ... attempts at installing this module using the perl padre graphical interface gives me this (pointing it to local download of the module):
--> Working on C:\Users......\Win32-SerialPort-0.22.tar.gz Fetching file://C:/Users/.../.../Win32-SerialPort-0.22.tar.gz ... OK Configuring Win32-SerialPort-0.22 ... OK Building and testing Win32-SerialPort-0.22 ...
and left with a blinking curser. (the\ ...\ in the path replaces folder names) as a result, a folder is created in c:.cpanm/../WIN32::SerialPort-0.22 with associated folders running the script that calls up the serialport I get this:
Uncaught exception from user code: Can't locate Win32API/CommPort.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Dwimperl/p rl/site/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/vendor/lib C:/Dwimperl/perl/lib .) at C:/Dwimperl/ erl/site/lib/Win32/SerialPort.pm line 7.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at sf.pl line 90. at sf.pl line 90 Press any key to continue . . .
so my question...what source of information may help me figure out what I am doing wrong? I have read up on info on modules, FAQ. but no joy. thanks for any pointers. Gnuperl
