When I try to run this, I get the following error:

Can't call method "add_handler" without a package or object reference at aimBot.pl on line 9.

I'm pretty sure I have an instance of the Net::AIM class in the $aim variable, right?

I'm of the rare perl 'newbie' species, so any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.
