Hi Folks, I am trying to get the list of my roster and status of a particular buddy using the Net XMPP protocol. But for some odd reason,i can get the list of my entire roster but not the status of a particular buddy. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::XMPP;
use Data::Dumper;
my $username = '';
my $password = '';

my $resource = 'Perl';
my $hostname = 'talk.google.com';
my $port = 5222;
my $componentname = 'gmail.com';
my $connectiontype = 'tcpip';
my $tls = 1;

# Connect to Google Talk
my $Connection = new Net::XMPP::Client();
my $stat = $Connection->Connect(   hostname => $hostname,
                        port => $port,
                        tls  => $tls,
                        componentname => $componentname,
                        connectiontype => $connectiontype,
                        ) or die "Failed:$!\n";;
my @res = $Connection->AuthSend(  username => $username,
                        password => $password,
                        resource => $resource ) or die "Failed to Auth
+:$!\n";

$Connection->PresenceSend(show=>'available');
my $roster = $Connection->Roster();
my @buddies = $Connection->RosterGet();
my $user   = $roster->online('somebuddy@gmail.com');
print "Roster - @buddiesn";
print "User - $user\n";
while (my $x=$Connection->Process()) {
}
