perl aim client

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...	[reply]

`Chatbot::Eliza` is the module you speak of. You can combine Net::Aim and Chatbot::Eliza to get a fairly good robot. See (AOL bot) Confuse the heck out of everyone you know! and http://www.newrisedesigns.com/robots for what I've done with my robots. One of my robots did fool my girlfriend's mom, who thought I was just being sarcastic, so it might work on your boss. :) John J Reiser newrisedesigns.com	[reply]
