Hi mastertone,
Several years ago, I did some work to connect terminal server on windows by this module. mostly Win32::SerialPort workds well, except 2 issues:
- on 64bit windows box, the structure of serial port changes, if you use the modules on win64, you have to apply a patch on cpan( sorry I can't reach metacpan.)
- when com port number larger than 9, you have to specify the name as this format" \\.\COM10". since I note you use COM10 in your script. Please refer to this node
BTW:this module does work done, but the author use old Win32::API which has been buggy and itself unmaintained for long time, anyone want to pick it up? I think serial port is still used widely.
I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
