    (NMEA) GPS device though I am having some problems with this module.
    The first thing is that the module is blocking when it grabs data. the
    second is that the location is off by a lot.I have emailed the creator
    but what I am wondering is if there are other GPS perl module that I
    can use to get GPS data from a COM port or USB?

    A search on "GPS" at <http://search.cpan.org> produces 90 hits,
    including the possibly relevant GPS::NMEA (I have not used it).
