Hey Church!

So I thought I'd try an get slim up and running on my new windows7 64-bit lappy. I installed active perl v5.10.1 with ppm 4.10

I added the location to the repositories list and the perl package manager and then searched for it in the "all packages" column. I did several different searches to try and find Win32::SerialPort There is a bunch or Win32 stuff but nothing with serial port in it.

I did find something called test device serial port. So I thought what the hell I'll install that. Unfortunately.. "no dice" :( Any ideas?

Is there a more manual way I can install the module? like if I download it from here how would I install it?

Thanks for all you awesome work on this,

Dan.

Dan,

That's odd, as I just checked in PPM 4.01, and it's showing me an update for Win32::SerialPort from the bribe repo? The only thing is, have to search for Win32-Serial ather than Win32::Serial. I also see it when browsing, did you do the whole "add repository" button after typing the address for Bribes in?

Don't try direct downloading. The page is misleading, there is compiled code required - i.e. the pre-requisite comport library =)

It's definably not showing up in ppm 4.10 when I type in Win32-Serial. Yep shows up in the repository list as enabled but it says it has 0 packages.

I Just had the same results with the latest version ppm 4.11. Maybe I'll try to roll back to your 4.01 and see if it's works with that version for me the same way it did for you.

Ok, so I tried all the versions I could get my hands on and still no luck. Then it dawned on me, what if I try a 32-bit installer instead of a 64-bit of active perl? BAM! It now sees bribes and all of it's 498 packages.

Not sure why it's not compatible with the 64-bit installer but anyway seems to be working now.

Ahh, ok - the bribes repo has

Ahh, ok - the bribes repo has been up for a long time. I doubt he's compiled everything for 64bit, in fact, I think none of it is targeted towards a 64-bit build...
