I am trying read and write to/from a USB scanner to extend the functionality of sane a bit. I am able to view the device information and endpoints fairly easily with the following code:
my $usb = Device::USB->new();
my $dev = $usb->find_device( VENDOR, PRODUCT );
print Dumper $dev;
My problem is that I cannot quite figure out how to provide appropriate parameters for the interrupt_read, interrupt_write, bulk_read and bulk_write methods.
For example, the documentation for interrupt_write provides:
interrupt_write - Perform a interrupt write request to the specifi
+ed endpoint.
ep - The number of the endpoint to write
bytes
Buffer - Buffer from which to write the requested data.
timeout - Maximum time to wait (in milliseconds)
Is 'ep' the full bEndpointAddress or just its lower 3 bits. How do I set up Buffer? Is that an array reference?
Could someone please provide some sample perl code that performs a read or write using Device::USB (or point me to a website)?
Thanks

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
