use the serialport from perl

[badpixel@nerd.dk]

Hi!

I'm trying to read callerid data from my modem with a perlscript. I open the
serialport with:

open (SERIALPORT, $device) or die "arrrg! $!";

and this works fine just after a reboot. But! If i connect to the Internet for
a couple of minutes with pppd, disconnects again and start my script, it just
hangs at that line!  I can see it grabs the modem, but i cannot communicate 
with it - and as i said, the script just hangs. :(

Any ideas?
