Apparantly I'm not allowed to edit my own SoPW post. Anyway, I have already read through the chat.pl code that comes with the SOAP::Lite sources. I havn't been able to make it run it yet, so I don't know exactly how it works from a user's point of view. From what I understand it pauses while a user is typing in what they want to say.
