I am trying to connect to an XMPP server and send a message to another user using the following perl code

(taken from https://roadha.us/2011/04/send-xmpp-messages-with-perl-from-the-command-line-too.html).

It works but the mesage is sent from anonymous@unknown.com. I know this because I have Pidgin running as another user on the same XMPP server and recieve the message from my perl program from anonymous@unknown.com. Pidgin also shows anonymous@unknown.com as offline!

#!/usr/bin/perl  
use strict;  
use Net::XMPP;

my ($recip, $msg) = @ARGV;

if(! $recip || ! $msg) {  
    print 'Syntax: $0 <recipient> <message>\n';  
    exit;  
}

my $con = new Net::XMPP::Client();  

my $status = $con->Connect(  
    hostname => 'xx.xx.xx.xx',port=>5222, 
    connectiontype => 'tcpip',tls => 0);  
    
die('ERROR: XMPP connection failed') if ! defined($status);  
    my @result = $con->AuthSend(  
        username => 'Uname',  
        password => 'PWord',
        resource=>'Test');   
die('ERROR: XMPP authentication failed') if $result[0] ne 'ok';  
die('ERROR: XMPP message failed') if ($con->MessageSend(to => $recip, 
+body => $msg) != 0);  
print 'Success!\n';

From the code I would expect to by connected as Uname. Why is this not the case?
