Hey John
Just a small bug report, I have had this error crop up twice now - seems to
happen rarely, with a few weeks of continuous running between the
occurrences
Invalid type '-' in unpack at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Device/XBee/API.pm line 329.
Any thoughts as to what it might be or what else you need to try and debug
it? Using version v0.7 of Device-Xbee-Api on linux
cheers!
--Raj.
