Using OBEX Protocol on Windows with Perl/CGIby ajt (Prior) |

ajt has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I would like to connect to a device using the OBEX protocol to pull a file off it from a CGI request I have to use a Widows system but I do have Apache and ActivePerl to use. As part of a earlier phase, I was able to use plain serial communication which works perfectly with Perl. For this phase of the project the device speaks only OBEX. A quick Google search brings up the Open OBEX site and their software. It comes with a non-CPAN perl module in the source but not the Windows binary download. I'm trying Cygwin at the moment with little luck but I'd prefer a working ActiveState Perl solution. On CPAN there are a set of "alpha" modules that work with OBEX, e.g. Net::OBEX but they don't do device discovery and are a bit Spartan. Has anyone communicated with an OBEX device from within Perl on a Windows machine? and if so what did you do to make it work? As ever, thanks in advance for any suggestions...
