Hey @softdev,

Thank you for the error report! However, looking at your project, it seems like you may have removed that module and are now stuck on getting module Device-USB to build.

Cheers!

I’m also getting an error compiling SerialPort. Fresh ActivePerl 5.26 install. Simple things like this should not be a problem.

SerialPort 0.12 is an older version of Win32::SerialPort module. The newer version is also available as Win32-SerialPort, and I’ve confirmed that Win32-SerialPort does build properly on Windows for perl 5.26 and 5.28.

There is a build issue on the perl 5.32 side that I will folllow up on, but that shouldn’t impact your usage.
