Some developers use Perl for prototyping, some automated "scripting", or testing certain (hardware or software) functions (or logging, or extracting some data from logs).

* [SerialPort.pm] : used traditionaly from Perl, used eg. by

** prog.pl (upload firmware a long-long time ago, before v3loader, roundloader and VemsTune)

** watch_vemslog.pl (prototyping and testing only, never used by endusers)

----

prog.pl under win32

* Had an ActivState perl installation

* Had to download SerialPort.pm, it's in Win32-SerialPort-0.19.tar

* Had to download and install win32-api pm, which was in Win32-API-0.41.zip. This one really need to be installed not just having copied into lib directory.

**To install: > ppm

**>add repository name_of_the_package_folder

**>install win32-api
