Rob, Bill,
Ive installed Risacher's patched Win32::API as Rob suggested, and tried again
to install Win32::SerialPort in my cygwin build. however, it (Win:Ser) still
fails all tests.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/SerialPort-0.19
$ perl test.pl
t/test1....dubious
Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b)
test program seems to have generated a core
DIED. FAILED tests 1-275
Failed 275/275 tests, 0.00% okay
(... ditto each test group ...)
Failed 7/7 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 1749/1749 subtests failed, 0.00% okay.
any suggestions?
thanks, rob
