  Hi,

  I am trying to control an OMAP with Linux, from a Windows laptop running Perl via serial port. I could open serial port (COM1) and send commands, but not able to execute them by sending the enter key. I tried \n but it only moving the cursor to the next line, and not imitating enter key. Code is below. Any suggestions? Please help!!
  
  ---------
  
  

  open( PORT, "+>COM1") or die "Cant open COM1 - $!";
  
  $msg="ls\n";
  
  

  print PORT $msg;

  ---------

  The output comes as
  .#ls
  |
  
  

  but doesnt execute..

  Thanks!
