Comms with screen

So today I learnt you can connect to a coms port using screen!

eg

screen  /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 8N1

same screen key bindings work :)

no need for minicom crap now!

perl modules in ubuntu

Thought I better write this down before I forget it, how to install missing perl modules under ubuntu using apt-get

so say you see this:

Requirements
------------
Net::LDAP
Getopt::Std
Net::Nslookup
Net::Dns

how do you install those?

well simple...
apt-get install libnet-ldap-perl
apt-get install libnet-dns-perl

etc
