All,
 
We have an OO perl framework here that utilizes Win32::SerialPort to
automate configuration of various network devices.  One of the things we
like to do is capture device state; as a result on occasion we generate
alot of data that's piped through the console.  We've noticed there are
issues with Win32::SerialPort choking while processing this data.
Another problem we've got is that our Perl scripts also seem to "forget"
it's got COM ports open.  On occasion when we have a PORT_OBJ instance
saved as an object's property, that property may be nulled out for some
unknown reason during execution, and this behavior cannot be reliably
replicated.
 
I was wondering if there was some alternative to using SerialPort.
Would WMI be something we could look into?  Is there any Perl code
available that could do TCP->Serial mapping?
 
 - Joe
