Device-USB

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.

INSTALLATION
