I have a piece of hardware, specifically a weather station, which connects to my computer via serial cable. The people the designed the software that manages the weather station's databases (which reside on the computer) did a piss poor job and, furthermore, have been hiatus for over a year now. As of now, I am sick of waiting for updates. I was wondering if anyone knows of a perl script or anything like that which I could use to monitor the signals that are sent from the program to the weatherstation and vis versa so that I could write my own version of the software which would a) work in linux, b) be in perl c) work on a consistant basis. If you know of anything, please let me know.

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).
