milkbone connects to aim's servers and lets you IM through a perl/tk interface. still very much in beta.

http://milkbone.batkins.com

a windows installer is available. although milkbone has been tested on linux, there is currently no easy way to install on linux.

NOTE: THE OLD INSTALLER HAD PROBLEMS - IF YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD MILKBONE, TRY AGAIN. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY INCOMPETENCE WITH THE NULLSOFT INSTALLER :)

    Hmmm, isn't there an Eliza module on CPAN somewhere? Putting that together with milkbone would be a very cool use for perl, especially if it could make my boss think I'm still at my desk...

    No link? No code?

    Update: Looks interesting. Will try it out soon.
