Device-USB

This module is deprecated as of version 0.37. I have not had the time

or need to update the module, and no one has been willing to take it

over. This module has been superceded by USB::LibUSB, which supports

the 1.0 version of the libusb API.

This module provides a relatively complete Perl wrapper on the libusb

library. Using this module provides an object-oriented interface to any

installed USB devices.

Obviously, the module requires a copy of the libusb library compiled for the

target system. The module also requires a C compiler compatible with the

Perl installation, because it uses the Inline::C module to create the

interface to libusb.

TODO

The current version of the library does not fully support 'get_descriptor'.

This method currently returns a binary string containing the data, the code

to create a reasonable data structure has not yet been written.

The device objects also do not contain pointers back to their busses at this

time. This feature will be added once I am certain that it will not leak

memory.
