Hello: I am a fairly recent convert to Macs and am trying to teach myself some perl from the Macperl book. I have made some good progress learning the basics but am having difficulties getting the above package to work. According to the documentation I need to place the serial.pm file (or an alias) in my "site_perl:mac" folder and the folder "serial v1.007" in the "site_perl" folder. I have tried a few different combinations with no success. My directory structure (or is it a folder structure) from root is MacPBHD::Macperl:site_perl:mac. When I attempt to run the master.t test file in the "t" folder I am getting an error "Can't locate Mac/serial.pm in @INC. The line giving me the error is "use Mac::serial;" Is this a virtual path ? or a path from root. Any assistance or (references where to look for information) will be gratefully received.
