Subject: Running Device::BlinkyTape on Windows
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:41:09 -0700
To: bug-Device-Blinkytape [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Todd A <taa [...] pobox.com>
Hi Okko, Based on a bug report I filed for Device::SerialPort, the maintainer responded (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=96546#txn-1377064) by saying Device::SerialPort is for non-Windows version and that Device::BlinkyTape would need to use Win32::SerialPort under Windows. I have no idea what would be involved so I'll just ask and hope for the best: Can you make Device::BlinkyTape detect when it is running on Windows and if so use Win32::SerialPort, and if not continue to use Device::SerialPort for non-Windows platforms? I realize I will need to use a 32bit version (and not a 64bit version) of Perl 5.20.0 or higher.

Hi. I have missed the original notification some 9 months ago about this bug, sorry about that. I can probably make it detect Windows and to use that library instead. Can you test it for me, as I don't have a Windows environment available at the moment? On Fri Jun 20 23:42:12 2014, taa@pobox.com wrote: Show quoted text
