BaldPenguin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am building a jabber bot. The base of this is POE::Component::Jabber. I have built this same bot in IRC with POE, and it was easy. However when I hit stumbling blocks concerning the result codes and post to the IRC server there was a bunch of resources for that IRC information.

I have gotten the jabber bot to login, and to respond to messages. But I am having problems understanding how to join the chat rooms. I am more than willing to share my code, in fact I intend to post it when I am done, but right now I am just looking for some good docs to help me understand how to do this.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Hi,

    There are 2 good books about Jabber:

    • Programming Jabber. O'Reilly
    • Jabber Developer's Handbook. Developer's Library

    You can also connect to jabber.org, there is a chat group where you can find the developers, so you can ask they questions...

    Update: link to the books about Jabber at Amazon (UK).
