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

Are all the following perl modules for the messenger out of date because only messages and to some degree buddylists are being processed by the modules. I didnt saw anything about filetransfers. Got some Ideas?

tcl/ruby/php inline module out of date for win32 and linux or any alternatives?

Is pidgin using the perl api and no GUI possible ?


i tested the follow modules: IM-Engine, Net-XMPP, AnyEvent-XMPP, Net-SloppyXMPP, POE-Component-Jabber, Net-Jabber, Net-XMPP3, Jabber-Lite and other non jabber modules (icq, aim, yim, msn...) for filetransfer.

      1. the module SCP and SFTP are no messengermodules. Also the other side of the Client doesnt have my Script. The OSCAR protocol (ICQ/AIM without the filetransfer), also jabber::lite/net:jabber

      2. rubyish is a nice way but doesnt help to execute the ruby code completly in perl.
      The "Ruby"-module is not the easiest way to use and only ruby 1.86 or 1.8.7 is possible but not 1.9x

      3. yes, but its with the GUI (you need pidgin with GUI when using purple, gtk2). Iam in need to run it without a GUI for perl.

      4. i have found many modules in perl for messengers without the (complete) filetransfer routines.

        Pidgin is the gui, Purple is the backend
