in reply to Net::AIM

In the words of Damian: "A module is like a black box - open it and void the warranty!"

If I was you I wouldn't try to edit a module, if your piece of software ever hits the streets, you'll need to hand out your special module aswell, which others who also use that module, just may not like.



Sinister greetings.

    Agreed. If you need to do something drastic, try subclassing or overriding key functions to get what you want.

    As another poster noted, the AIM protocol has...problems. It's a moving target and some parts are poorly documented. Fortunately, changing a password associated with an AIM handle can be done at AOL's web site. (Maybe a call out to the web to do what you want...or just leave it alone.)
