Hi,
I'm _very_ new to Perl and was wondering if anyone can help me read a com
port? 
I intend to set up a linux machine to boot straight into a perl program which
checks details from a card reader via the com port and compares them with
details in a database, probably via a DBI. The intention is to be able to turn
this machine on without monitor/mouse/kb (ruling out Winxx) and for it to 
work on an IP network (ruling out DOS?). It also needs to be secure, hence 
linux.
All I need is perl code to read a line of input from ttyS0.
Thanks
Julian
