If that doesn't work then you could manually copy the 2 '.pm' files to the appropriate perl folder. I expect the real problem will be that you don't have the prerequisite Win32::API - which used not to build straight out of the box on Cygwin, and I assume still doesn't. There is a version of Win32::API around somewhere that *does* build on Cygwin. I used to have it and may still do. See if you can Google it up - else, let me know, and I'll see if I can find it. (The only problem with Aldo's version of Win32::API is/was that the assembly code is/was written for MS compilers - and for Cygwin you need assembly code that gcc understands.) Just checked and managed to find the Cygwin-compatible versions of API-0.20 and 0.21. The gas assembly code was added by Daniel Risacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . He may have something more recent if you want to check up on Google (or contact him) - though either of those 2 versions that I have should be quite adequate for Win32::SerialPort. Let me know if you want me to send 'em over.
