£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?
