found result=0, file=COM1
Win32::SerialPort and Win32API::CommPort
VERSION 0.22
A 'Makefile' created for those with 'make' or CPAN.pm users.
It will test using PORT = COM1. To test using a different PORT,
run again specifying: 'perl Makefile.PL TESTPORT=<PORT>'
The normal 'Mantra' would then apply:
make
make test
make install
For those without 'make' or an equivalent like 'nmake' or 'dmake' ther
+e
are perl-only scripts which do the same things:
Test with: perl nomake_test
Install with: perl nomake_install
Test with nothing connected to COM1.
PORT is not verified present and accessible until tests run.
Timeout tests can take up to 30 seconds per test.
Creating new t/DefaultPort.pm
Creating new nomake_test
Creating new nomake_install
Checking if your kit is complete...

You said you installed a loopback device on your serial port, disconnect it and try to install again. I have a physical 9 pin serial port on COM1 with nothing attached when I have the above. Maybe the test was designed to have nothing attached during the test, just like it would be on a cpan tester's machine.
