I can't seem to get my code to send im's and receive im's at the same time, it seems it keeps getting stuck in a loop. how would i remedy this? using this code below (from a thread i found on here) how would i modify this to actually receive messages as well, because if i add a subroutine for im_in, it never receives the event, since its stuck in a loop for sending messages... any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::OSCAR qw(:standard);

%signon = (
        screenname => 'myscreenname',
        password => 'mypassword',
        local_ip => 'myip',
);

$recipient = "myfriend";
$message = "mymessage";

sub signon_done {
        print "signed on\n";
        $online = 1;
}

$oscar = Net::OSCAR->new();
$oscar->set_callback_signon_done(\&signon_done);

$oscar->signon(%signon);

while(1) {
        $oscar->do_one_loop();
        if ($online) {
                $oscar->send_im($recipient, $message);
                sleep(5);
        }
}
