Serious issues with Win32::SerialPortby rdiez (Acolyte) |

rdiez has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi all: Win32::SerialPort has not seen a release since 2010. This bug is becoming a serious issue for me, I just cannot distribute my Perl script smoothly: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=89837This other bug is just not getting attention: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=120068The CPAN bug tracker is weird. I haven't figured out yet how to get the e-mail address for a bug, in order to contribute to it. The bug tracker does not state clearly how to create a new account for the web interface, it wants you to use a "Bitcard account" or some OpenID. It has been user-unfriendly for years. A bit like perlmonks.org , where the "Title" box above is just too short. This all smells of rot. What's the best way forward, at least for Win32::SerialPort? Is there an alternative? Or is the only way forwards to fork it? Thanks in advance,
