Grabbing GPS data using perl deadpickle 03-07-2008

 I have been using the perl module perl-GPS to grab data from a DeLorme
(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).
