Net::ICQ This is a really unfinished module for communicating with an ICQ server. *** YOU CAN'T USE IT YET. IT'S NOT FINISHED. BUT IT'S GETTING THERE!! It's here because others are helping me create it and this is the easient way to share code :) CHANGES ======= Most recent changes are: 0.07 -> 0.08 - dword_2_hex renamed dword_to_chars to match other names. - utility function decimal_to_hex added. - Example client now uses config files, sorta. - Added new 'Birthday' status. - New skeleton function receive_end_contactlist_status(), receive_not_logged_in(). - Added new server packet 0xF000, NOT_LOGGED_IN. - Altered logon sequence according to what Graham Roff posted to the list about it. - Renamed some packet types (and associated functions, etc.) to be more clear: LOGIN_1 to REQUEST_OFFLINE_MESSAGES, REPLY_X1 to END_CONTACTLIST_STATUS, REPLY_X2 to END_OFFLINE_MESSAGES, CMD_X1 to ACK_OFFLINE_MESSAGES, INSTALLING ========== After unzipping and untarring the distribution directory, you install the library by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install CONTACTS ======== To contact me directly, is best. The icq-dev mailing list is for all the ICQ clones being developed, see http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~d95-mih/icq/#icq-devel for details. There is an icq-perl mailing list specifically for people with an interest in Net::ICQ. Anybody interested in helping with development or testing is encouraged to subscribe, as are people who just want to keep track of what's going on with Net::ICQ. It's a standard majordomo list if you grok them, or trot along to http://www.tertius.net.au/lists/icq-perl/ to subscribe with a nifty web interface.
