Perl Module for phone modem

[Mark J Fenbers]

I've been tasked with writing code to dial telemetry equipment through a phone
modem as a backup means to our existing method of acquiring data. My plan is to
use Perl on a Linux box to do this, but the last time I did this sort of stuff
was years ago when Procomm+ was popular and network cables were not.

Is there a Perl Module available to make this coding task a bit easier for me??

I think so ... you could search http://search.cpan.org/ using the keyword
of 'modem' or 'serial'. I seem to remember seeing one or two that may fit
the bill.
