title: Connecting to remote tty using perl
body: <p>i am developing a test automation host which is currently connected to 10 embedded controllers via serial ports (/dev/ttyS*)</p>
  
  <p>to speed up the testing i wish to add more host and enable them to also talk to the controllers. However the controller must remain connected to the first host. </p>
  
  <p>the entire test automation software is written in perl so i am looking for a perl based solution. i am currently using Device::SerialPort to talk to the controllers. until now it did the work just fine</p>
  
  <p>is there a way using Device::SerialPort to connect to tty devices on a remote machine
  if not is there a similar perl module which can do that</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance </p>
