Hi monks!

I ran into a tiny AIM script here at a node written by sutch (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=250057). He says that this script should work, however when I run the script with my working screen name and password, it looks like it won't receive the \&on_config handler, and is thereby stuck in the loop.

I've tryed different scripts but they all seem to have the same problem.

Any ideas?



#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Net::AIM;

sub DEBUG() { 1 }

my $aim = new Net::AIM;
$aim->debug(1) if (DEBUG);  # provides helpful information
$aim->newconn( 
Screenname => 'admin', 
Password => 'adminpass') or
+ die "Can't connect to AIM server.\n";
my $conn = $aim->getconn();
$conn->set_handler('config', \&on_config);

$aim->set('config_done', 0);
my $done = 0;
while (! $done) {
  $aim->do_one_loop();
  if ($aim->get('config_done')) {
    $aim->send_im('evelyntube', 'testing');
    print "\nmessage send!\n";
    sleep 5;
    $done = 1;
  } else {
    $aim->do_one_loop();
  }
}

sub on_config {
   my ($self, $evt, $from, $to) = @_;
   my $str = shift @{$evt->args()};
   $self->set_config_str($str, 1);
   $self->send_config();
   $self->set('config_done', 1);
}
