If you read my earlier post, you'd see I was going to base all this on the Net::ICQ module (if it still works :)

From my previous attempt, I realise that I need to run a local ICQ server that is a client for the AOL ICQ server. This was the bit I need some help with.

Leave the client/server stuff to modules which others have already written. - perhaps a pointer here as to which modules are best for this would be helpful :)
