in reply to Getting gtalk user status using Net XMPP

can get the list of my entire roster but not the status of a particular buddy.

Maybe that buddy is not in your roster?

what am i doing wrong here ? $user is undef !!

It appears you're not reading the fine manual (Net::XMPP::Roster), online returns undef when a user is not online

Try Dumper-ing the results of query  my %hash = $Roster->query('bob@jabber.org');

    The buddy is in roster and is online as well,and when i print $user i get 'use of uninitialized value'. I tried dumping the results of %hash and its empty.

      I see two things to try, install DAPATRICK/Net-XMPP-1.02_04.tar.gz (  cpanp i DAPATRICK/Net-XMPP-1.02_04.tar.gz ) and test again. If problem persists, report bug upstream :)
