Has anyone got much experience of the above?
I'm trying to write something to dump the data off of my dive computer,
but I'm buggered if I can make something read the serial interface :(
Simple answers on a postcard, please!
Someothing like:
use <module>;
$port = <module>->new();
$port->setattr(attribute1);.
# set other port attributes
# then attach a filehandle to the device with a sysread() call
while (<FH>) {
# print out raw data, don't unpack it. Just so we can see the stuff!
print;
}
close (FH);
...see? I've tried using POSIX::Termios, with which I can manipulate the
port settings and muck about with DTR/CTS etc but I just can't get the
damn thing to do the relevant ioctl() and sysread() calls to read the
data!
It's driving me up the bloody wall. Hints, examples, ideas appreciated.
