To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Bill, Eli, and comp.os.msdos.djgpp: I went to CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/) from home last night and following the links for ports and MS-DOS. Sure enough, there was the DJGPP port of Perl 5.005_03 by Laszlo (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/msdos/LMOLNAR/) that I have been too confused to look for until now -- Doh! I downloaded and unzipped it, moved all the stuff into my /fsf tree (being careful to keep /fsf/lib/perl5/site), and everything seemed okay with brief testing (Bash, Sambar). I'm repeating the process at work today. The docs state that it should be able to build modules off CPAN, so I'm wondering if I should give Device::SerialPort a shot, or dig into BCSerio? -- David Christensen dchristensen AT california DOT com -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
