Well, I would do this, but you probably didn't notice, but these are merely snippets, not a full program (snippets or cool use for perl? i vote cool). Although, at some point, I will incorporate an entire script that runs as a daemon that will do all of them, depending on arguments. I will post the MSN notifier soon. The reason I have not completed it sooner, is because MSN.pm only allows you to reply to IMs, not send them out. So, i'm gonna hack it up.
