[Hardware-pm] [dcpm] Net::GPSD3 issue

[Michael R. Davis]

Zak,
I don't use gpsd any more and have not been following it recently.  I do know when I was last working with it the poll did not work very well.  The poll required another client to be connected at all times to really work or required gpsd to be started with the "always run" flag.  
 
If you send me your code (excerpt) and versions, I can set up testing.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I want to write a simple app that polls gpsd version 3 server for the current lat and longitude, etc.  net::gpsd3 is supposed to be able to provide this service, but it doesn't return anything valid.  (Can't call method sky on an undefined variable...). However, when I use the provided command line clients (cgps) it works fine, and it uses the gpsd3 protocol for that information.  Any clues on how to proceed? 
Thanks!
Zak
