| 3 | 1 | Greg Mathis | Go to ActiveState.com to download 32 bit community edition of Perl for Windows |

| 8 | 1 | Greg Mathis | |
| 9 | 1 | Greg Mathis | Some additional libraries (modules) are needed. |
| 10 | 1 | Greg Mathis | After Perl installed, run Perl Package Manager (PPM) in a DOS command shell, run “ppm” |
| 11 | 1 | Greg Mathis | select View All Packages |
| 12 | 1 | Greg Mathis | |

| 36 | 8 | Greg Mathis | *Problems with 64 bit Perl:* |
| 37 | 7 | Greg Mathis | DO NOT INSTALL 64 bit version of Active Perl such as: |
| 38 | 7 | Greg Mathis | ActivePerl-5.22.3.2204-MSWin32-x64-401627.exe |
| 39 | 7 | Greg Mathis | When you run PPM, Win32-SerialPort is no longer an option. |
| 40 | 7 | Greg Mathis | I did go to http://search.cpan.org/~bbirth/Win32-SerialPort-0.22/lib/Win32/SerialPort.pm |
| 41 | 7 | Greg Mathis | On right side of page, download Win32-SerialPort-0.22.tar.gz |
| 42 | 7 | Greg Mathis | Go to http://www.7-zip.org/ and download 7-Zip to gunzip and untar files |
| 43 | 7 | Greg Mathis | Copy Win32-SerialPort-0.22\lib\Win32 to C:\Perl64\site\lib |
| 44 | 7 | Greg Mathis | Copy Win32-SerialPort-0.22\lib\Win32API to C:\Perl64\site\lib |
| 45 | 7 | Greg Mathis | But this didn’t work, neither did trying to use the Makefile and make_install, which appeared to install OK, |
| 46 | 7 | Greg Mathis | but when running comPortTest.pl, it didn’t work (but didn’t show any errors either …) |
| 47 | 9 | Greg Mathis | Bottom line: No reason not to use 32 bit version of Perl, so keep using it. |
