Hi,

I'm struggling to get serial ports working in PerlCE on an iPAQ.

Probably a produce of my own optimism, but I started with the perl 58 distribution for arm-ppc at perlce.sourceforge.net

I then added in the SerialPort files posted on this group.  And finally I discovered the ARM version of Win32::API posted on Rainers site.

I've installed everything in (what I believe are) the correct directories, but I get the error:
Can't load /Storage Card/perl58m/lib/auto/Win32/API/API.dll for module Win32::API: load_file:Error at /Storage Card/perl58m/lib/Dynaloader.pm line 72.
at \My Documents\apitest.pl line 5

This is when running the apitest.pl script.  Needless to say the files are there.  Is this a Dynaloader problem?  

Help!  I need to get a working serial implementation on the ipaq, and I'd really rather use Perl as thats what I have experience of.

Can anyone either assist with the above problem,  or suggest a known working installation version mix (and file locations!!).

Many thanks,

Paul.
