Is Win32::SerialPort still viable?

STFW, I didn't find any "SerialPort" in Cygwin packages:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=serialport
But there is a "Device-SerialPort-0.22.zip" in ActiveState Perl:
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/
Google'ing for "cygwin perl serialport" yields a bunch of hits. You
might want to look for support forums, mailing lists, newsgroups, etc.,
for either or both *::SerialPort modules and search for Cygwin-specific
posts.
I usually have better luck installing binary packages for anything --
Perl libraries, GNU tools, user applications, daemons, etc. -- rather
than building from scratch and/or using CPAN. So if you can't get
either *::SerialPort module to install or work correctly on Cygwin, you
may want to try using ActiveState Perl. But, be warned that mixing
ActivePerl with Cygwin may be confusing and/or difficult.
HTH,
David
