stonecolddevin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

Research might answer this question for me, but I'd like to see what my fellow monks have to say:

What kind of, if any, perl messenger api's does perl have? With all the new API's in the latest java SDK, including the mobile messaging api, I thought it would be neat to do something like that with perl.


Thoughts?

    What perl messenger (or is there a perl messenger, and if so, what is it?) There are various APIs for various instant messenger protocols, such as There is no official perl messenger protocol or api (or app).

    As PodMaster says, there are a lot of options for Perl messaging, dpending on what your looking for.

    If you are looking for a p2p type messaging API, I would add Net::Jabber to PodMaster's list.

    If you are looking for a client/server messaging api, there are also quite a few, including:

    Plus many more. Or you could roll your own using LWP, etc. Really, you can use most popular transports with Perl, so I would suggest first looking at the requirements for the project and choosing the API most suited. Perform some searches on search.cpan.org with your requirements in mind.
