Also, the "sub-second delay" function works on Win32 (5.005++): select (undef, undef, undef, 0.25); # delays for a quarter second Some of the Win32::SerialPort examples use Term::ReadKey for the STDIN case, and the write_done method for the case of writing to the port. There was once some discussion of adding "tied FileHandles" to the Win32 select (like sockets) - but it was never implemented. -bill _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
