Net::Jabber and Conference

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

Hi all - I was wondering if anyone knows the Net::Jabber module very well? More specifically, I am looking for some examples of the module in use for sending and recieving messages. Most importantly, does anyone know how to create a script that can join a conference? The idea is to allow more than one user across difference platforms and locations monitor the same process and communicate in the same space. Thanks in advance for any comments, ideas or suggestions.

I have no experience with Net::Jabber, but it seems that Google does. I quite easilly found this site which has some examples and furthermore states: "A Jabber installation consists of one or more Jabber servers, and one or more (more than one is usually more useful ;-) Jabber clients. The server software, and ready-made clients are available from the Jabber web site." So I'd suggest that you take a peek over there. It does seem that there is a lot of software listed on the Jabber site. -- b10m	[reply]

it's old, from the Jabber 1.4 days, check out Jarl a Perl/Tk Jabber client. also check out jaberstudio and look for chatbot. both use Net::Jabber. i think Jarl uses the old pubchat instead of conference, but chatbot works with conference just fine. i've sung praises of Jabber before, and fight to keep myself from doing so more often. it's really really starting to come together and take off. IIRC the two core RFC's for XMPP (XML Message Passing Protocol) have made it through the IETF process. the Jabber 2.0 server is either out, or in final beta. even the ACM is enthralled. and the Jabber people have cleaned up their web page quite a bit.
