Just write a POE component that has one session to handle the serial port connection (Using Device::Serial?), and then one session to handle client requests? With all of the tools POE provides, you could make that session a TCP socket, unix socket, web server with SOAP or XMLRPC type structure or pretty much anything you can imagine.
There's excellent documentation on the POE site. Or, if you want cheaper implementation, write a cron job that checks the status and then puts it in a database, then just query the database in your mason site. There's a bunch of ways to do it, it depends on your particular comfort one. On Mon, Nov 26, 2007 at 05:09:45PM -0600, Ryan wrote: > I'm monitoring a laboratory scale through the serial port.
