Serial I/O and Win32by £okì (Scribe) |

£okì has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
A "quick" question regarding perl, serial I/O and windows. I have a program that is currently handleing I/O from a serial port running on windows (not of my creation) I would like to run a program at the same time that gathers the data comming in from the I/O port. Questions: 1) is this even possible (to listen to a port while its being used by another program. 2) any thing special that I have to do or can I just go in and pretend the other program isn't there with the standard Win32::SerialPort? edited: Sun Mar 9 14:42:12 2003 by jeffa - title change [was: Sneaky I/O (Windowz)]
