Using perl to send sms through siemens tc65

Hy!

First, I want to say hy to everyone! I am a fresh perl "programmer" (I
learned some things in the past few days), who is happy to get to know a ne=
w
language.
What is my problem? Actually, I did not know where to post this, so I am
just posting on this group (because I am after all a perl beginner). I work
in a company, where they want me to configure a linux centos server, that
would send and receive sms messages through the siemens tc65 terminal
siemens mc65 receiver. My first goal is to get the terminal to send a sms
message. I connected the tc65 to the computer and used minicom to check,
whether the tc65 responds to AT commands.
Well, it responded, but there is also my problem; I do not know, how to
translate that into a perl application. I thought that a module like
GSM::SMS would help me, but without any knowledge about such things, I
cannot do much at this point.

Can you please help me?

Well, if you can do it manually using minicom, you can also probably do it =
in
Perl using a serial port module:

http://metacpan.org/release/Device-SerialPort

I'm not familiar with GSM::SMS and have never sent SMS messages using Perl,=
so
I cannot help you further, but it may provide a better interface than worki=
ng
with the serial port directly.

Having had a quick look at the GSM::SMS module the intor says: *Out of the
box, it comes with a serial transport*, and a bit later: *A good start is t=
o
read the docs for
GSM::SMS::NBS S.pm>
*

To me it looks like this module will do what you want but to be honest I
have no idea if it ill I have never used it. I would suggest having a look
at the example page. It looks quite straight forward from the examples I
have seen.

Still not much help I know but the good thing is that you have found your
way to CPAN and found a module that seems to do what you want it to do. Now
the only thing left to do is just giving it a try and see what it does. In
the worst case scenario you can always do as Shlomi suggested and have a go
at the serial port interface your self but using a purpose build module wil=
l
make your life a lot easier in most cases.

Dear Mr. Coops and Fish,

Thank you for your advices. I will first try the modules,, and if it does
not work, then I will take the "manual" way. Should be fun :).

Thank you,

Matevž
