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.
