Re: Net::Aim: How to sent single message

I'll cheat, go look at Net::OSCAR instead, which has a nicer interface, IMO. All you need is the logon stuff in the example, plus the send_im method, and you're done.

Yep, but you'll need to be careful about how often the script runs. If you log in/out X times in Y minutes, your account is blocked from logging in any more for Z minutes. (Where X, Y, and Z are numbers I can't recall at this time.)	[reply]

Thanks for the help guys! Also, to answer your question, I believe you're blocked for 10 minutes. That actually is an important factoid, which is why I'll have the signon stuff in a sub-routine which runs as the script starts -- then just have the send_im whatnot do its thing within the script as many times as it needs.
