First thanks for doing this. It will hopefully make my job a lot easier and my bosses happy. My code is use Net::PJLink; use warnings; my $prj = Net::PJLink->new( host => [ '192.168.150.2'], keep_alive => 1, ); $prj->set_power(0); # turn off The code works. But I am getting a warning "Your vendor has not defined Socket macro MSG_DONTWAIT, used at C:/Perl/lib/Net/PJLink.pm line 520" Tom Herb

Hi, The warning comes from IO::Socket, which complains because non-blocking network I/O is not available on the Windows port of perl. Because of this, Net::PJLink is not supported (or tested) on Windows platforms. However, as long as you are only communicating with one projector at a time, there shouldn't be any problems. If you try to send commands to multiple projectors, you may see false network timeout responses. Obviously, you could work around this by creating one Net::PJLink object for each projector. Hopefully that helps. I'll leave this ticket open because I should probably add a check for Windows and multiple hosts.

When I go to implementation I may run on a Linux box. Do you have preferred version. Is CentOS good. I was thinking of designing a cgi front end. Besides being new to PERL I am also new to Linux.

Any recent Linux distribution should work. The important thing is that it have perl version 5.10 or newer. I haven't used CentOS, but I've heard good things about it. SUSE and Debian are also some good distros to consider. On Fri May 20 08:28:19 2011, yert@ufl.edu wrote: Show quoted text
