Is there someone who has experience in programming software for the IO-Warrior in Perl under Linux? I read on http://www.lallafa.de/bp/iowlcd.html that they wrote a lib for controlling a LCD display and made this lib available for Perl with SWIG. Are there similar libs available for controlling the LED Matrix functionallity or should I do plain read/writes to the device?
I read most of the documentation and it seems that all the LED Matrix examples are Windows/Mac based. I would be most gratefull for any advice and/or examples.

Hello linuxius,
I would suggest you try to create a Perl wrapper for the iowkit-library which is available for Linux. I never used SWIG myself but it looks like this should not be too difficult.
Using the LedMatrix functions is fairly easy, because all you have to do is send a few bytes (see IOWarrior Datasheet) to the IOWarrior using the IowKitWrite() function.
