i don't know how i managed it, but they work for me with 5.6.1

$ perl -e 'use Net::Jabber qw(Client); print Net::Jabber->VERSION,$/'
1.28

$ perl -MXML::Stream -e 'print XML::Stream->VERSION,$/'
1.16

$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux

i don't remember any difficulties installing them. but i just might have done an 'force install ...' somewhere along the line.

my very simple Client/Component test worked w/o any problem. it might very well break with some real Unicode in the stream somewhere.

anyhow, it's good to see others interested in Jabber. i've been planning on using Jabber for a NetworkEvent messaging system for various distributed daemons, but i've been holding off waiting for the XMPP standards stuff to finish up with the IETF approval process.
