I am wondering if it is possible to grab the contact list of msn messenger and yahoo messenger.

I'd wager there are modules that talk these protocols, but it sounds like you have something more simple in mind.

I have tried using various cpan modules but they dont seem to work.

I just need the email ids from the msn messenger/yahoo messenger.

Perhaps there's another way to attack your problem.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I am basically trying to run a site where users can add their existing friends from msn messenger/yahoo messenger. So that is the reason why I want to extract the email ids from these 2 protocols. I tried the POE component MSN, it dint seem to work. All I want is to accept username and password then simply get the email ids from the protocol. If you can tell me the code using module also, I do not mind. I do not mind installing any module available. Thank you very much, Anant

Did you try Net::Msmgr and POE::Component::Client::MSN?

Hi, I installed POE Component Client MSN, but was unable to get the script to work. Also in Net Msmgr I could not find any function that would list all my friends on the list. Thank you, Anant

I have written the following code. Only problem is that in the final part, it doesnot give output i.e. for this line: snd_msg( $socket, 'USR 4 TWN S t='.$final."\r\n" ); print (get_msg( $socket )."\n\n"); i dont know why but it just doesnt print anything and the perl interpreter keeps running. i dont know why. the rest all is right. All the code i have written as per the guidelines from: http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/notification/authentication.php Thank you very much, Anant
