[MacPerl] CommConnect.pl How does it work?

[h0444zkf@rz.hu-berlin.de (Erich Rast)]

Hi,

When I tried to access my modem with CommConnect.pl I couldn't figure out
how it works with the 'Serial Modul'. After Prepare() and Choose()

print CommConnect'Send("ATDTxxxxxx"); # xxxxxx is the right number, I've
checked it

Didn't work when I tried to receive to result (e.g. login):

print CommConnect'Receive();

Also a loop of successive Receive() does not work, it doesn't seem to return
anything. CommConnect.t works, but only returns parts of the output. Can a
script be too slow to catch the output? I only found CommConnect.pl which
isn't
well documented, but not the refering hypercard stack as mentioned in the
package (it hasn't been in the standard distribution). Does anyone know how
to use this package and/or get more documentation for it? (It's shareware,
but _where_ can I pay for it?)

Sorry if this is an inside macintosh question, but I don't have access to a
volume covering the CTB.

Thanks in advance,
                        Erich.
