Answer 1

Strawberry Perl Version > 5.32:
This problem should be resolved on Strawberry Perl 5.32, Win32::SerialPort module will be installed by default.
Strawberry Perl Version < 5.32:
Here is a solution if you need to install Win32::SerialPort module but the Strawberry Perl < 5.32:
Download the module tar ball:
http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/id/B/BB/BBIRTH/Win32-SerialPort-0.22.tar.gz
unzip and you will get this folder:
Modified the Makefile.PL to comment out all "COM1" section:
using cmd:
cd Win32-SerialPort-0.22
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake install
Enjoy it!!
