First of all: I was just missing the fact, that /dev/ttyS3 is there
but did not show up in `ls /dev/ttyS3' as Igor stated. Thanks for the hint.
I'm still no perl expert and I have to learn "the correct way to do
it". I want to write my modules as portable as possible and Cygwin
seems to be the best approach. :-)
I'm trying to get rid of using Visual Basic on Windows, which I used a
lot in the past for such kind of things including using com ports. I
installed Device::SerialPort altough some tests fail. I'm trying to
find out why, but this may take some time and is probably not related
with Cygwin anymore.
