in reply to streaming of serial port data over ethernet

Hi,

Well, I think you should clarify a bit more what exactly you want to do, otherwise I can just say checkout Device::SerialPort, with this module you can read the serial port.

If you want to broadcast... what type of broadcast, do you want clients to connect to something (server) to get the data, polling/pushing?, you could use Spread, Jabber, ActiveMQ, maybe you want to use multicast IO::Socket::Multicast, in general you should read IO::Socket::INET.
