Well I got my aimbot written.

I still had to rely on an event from the server to kick anything off, fortunately the act of logging on produces an event that I can use to kick off what I want.

The do one loop command loops the serve to see if there's anything there for the client.

As far as I can tell there is no way to simply initiate the client and send a message. You have to have an event from the server, like an IM, an error, a chat invitation, something, in order to to get the AimBot to do something.

Anyways thanks for tips, here is my shempy code below. It aint pretty but it does what I want. Namely read an OpenNMS database for outages and then sametime those outages to me:

#Aimbot to read outages in an OpenNMS database #http://opennms.org) and IM outages to myself.

use DBI;
use Net::AIM;

  $aim = new Net::AIM;
  $conn = $aim->newconn(Screenname   => 'mybot',
                        Password     => 'mybotpassword');
  $conn = $aim->getconn();
  $conn->set_handler('config',    \&on_config);
  $aim->start;

sub on_config {
my ($self, $event) = @_;
my ($str) = $event->args;

my @things = subONMS();

$self->set_config($str);

foreach $things (@things){
        $self->send_im($friend, $things);
        $self->send_im('sk1nums', $things);
        sleep(2);
        }
exit;
}

sub subONMS{
        my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=opennms;host=localhost",
        "uname", "pword")
                or die "Can't connect to postgres db: $!\n";

        my $fullquery = "SELECT nodeid FROM outages where ifregainedse
+rvice is null";
        my $sth = $dbh->prepare($fullquery)
                or die "Can't prepare SQL statement: ", $dbh->errstr()
+, "\n";

        $sth->execute()
          or die "Can't execute SQL statement: ", $sth->errstr(), "\n"
+;

        while(@rows = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
                push(@data,@rows);
        }

$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;

return @data
}
