Re^2: Net::OSCAR - a bot that will send and receive?

I understand, and have this:

sub im_in {
           my($oscar, $sender, $message, $is_away) = @_;
           print "$sender: $message\n";
          }

this handles messages received, and of course we use this:

$oscar->set_callback_im_in(\&im_in);

but the problem is, it doesnt do anything if I go inside a loop of sending messages every X amount of seconds like the example above, it never goes into the callback function, because its stuck inside the loop.. thats the problem im having.

I do not see the callback set in the code snippet you've posted. I'm fairly certain you need to call `$oscar->set_callback_im_in(\&im_in)` before you can expect that to be mapped. If it is called before your loop, then you should post the complete code where it is called (perhaps `\&signon_done`?). The `do_one_loop` method should call your `im_in` method if there's a message on the server (assuming your `sleep(5)` isn't causing connection problems).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
