I am not able to write or read to/from virtual serial port.
The virtual serial ports are created by a software app.
the virtual ports are paired-ie one port can spy on other.
if i use a hyperterminal, it works with one write to COM port seen on the other.
use Win32::SerialPort;
use strict;
use warnings;
$| = 1; #enable autoflush
my $PortName = "COM1";
my $sendData = "12345678";
### SERIAL PORT SETUP ###
my $PortObj = new Win32::SerialPort($PortName) or die "Can't open $Por
+tName: $^E\n";
$PortObj->baudrate(57600);
$PortObj->parity("none");
$PortObj->databits(8);
$PortObj->stopbits(1);
$PortObj->write_settings(); #very important!
$PortObj->write($sendData);
$PortObj->close() || warn "\nClose failed\n";
what could be wrong?
I have windows 7, laptop with no real COM ports.
i use a virtual serial port kit software to create virtual ports.
any help appreciated.
