i just can't get this figured out.
i have a device, that reports ascii data via a typical (DB-9) serial port. i
set up Win32::SerialPort in the following method:
$comm = Win32::SerialPort->new($port) or die "Close any application using
$port\n";
$comm->baudrate($baud); $comm->databits($dbits);
$comm->stopbits($sbits); $comm->parity($parity);
the following code works, but only for a relatively small amount of data
$comm->lookclear;
$comm->write("rl\r");
sleep 10;
$rcvd=$comm->input;
(... and then write $rcvd to a file ...)
for ~3K worth of serial data or less, $rcvd contains what i expect it to. but
when there is a larger amount, say 7-8K of serial data, the variable $rcvd is
empty. and my typical application could have excess of 100K
id really prefer to send the received data from the device directly to a file,
rather than thru a temporary variable. obviuosly "input" is not the right
command, but im having a hard time figuring out what else to do.
thank you for any help
