Write to serial port under Windows XP in Perl

[jasonlaronde]

I need 5 .pl scripts to write 5 different strings to the COM1 under windows. The Perl scripts will be called by buttons on a webpage...

Here are the strings and specs. I don't know perl so I was hoping someone could help me out...

why do u need perl to do this?

If a radio button is rendering an action, then just tie that action to the perl script or a batch file to do this...

I was told that .pl would be good to send the strings to the serial port... and a webpage would be a good interface for me. So I'd just have buttons run the .pl scripts to write to the RS232... unless you have a suggestion.
