I already use Device::BCM2835. It works fine and my code to access the GPIO pins has no problem with it. But, I apparently didn't make my wants clear. It isn't that I need help in getting the driver to work, but that I don't quite understand the Perl calls that use it. To change a pin to...

GURU = Anyone who knows more than me. i.e. almost everyone. I am making good progress in learning Perl, but am stuck on an item that I can't seem to find in the Mastering Perl books. (Or more likely, don't recognize.) I am doing I/O projects on a PI 4, using the GPIO for all kinds of...
