I have successfully used both Net::AIM and Net::Oscar in the past to create simple IM bots. One of those might do the trick. -stvn	[reply]

I've used Net::AIM, Net::OSCAR, and the MSN module from Bot-depot.com oh and of course Jabber using Net::Jabber, which isn't well documented (at least last i checked) but if you follow the samples for any of the above you should be able to get it working. ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]

Here is something else that might be causing your issue with Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo to Trillian: Talk to the hand. This also knocked our corporate Jabber connection to Yahoo due to the protocol change. Thanks, Greg W	[reply]

Yes. I'm currently using Net::OSCAR (AIM/ICQ) and Net::MSN (which Ive already fiddled with some, as its kind of half-written), daily. C.	[reply]

With requests about identifying IP address of a router and trying to use IM, you probably know that Iam trying to get somewhere. Just wanted to update monks that with your help, I completed my work. My problem: I need to know the dynamic IP address at my home router assigned by ISP. Solution: I don't have a webserver to log the IP address. I want to have it just when I want it. I finally have a working perl script which runs like a daemon on my home machine. It connects to AOL as user A and waits. When I login to AIM as user B from whereever Iam working/travelling and send IM to user A, I will receive my IP address as IM sent by user A Thanks again to all the monks.	[reply]
