Not to sound too fussy here, but my experience so far with Net::Jabber is less than great. A simple script using it produces several errors stemming from careless code in XML::Stream::Parser:

"my" variable $file masks earlier declaration in same scope at /usr/lo
+cal/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/XML/Stream/Parser.pm line 298.

Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_p
+erl/5.6.1/XML/Stream/Parser.pm line 134.

Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/
+5.6.1/Net/Jabber.pm line 759.

Is this package supported? If so, why are errors like the first one still present? (It results from this code:

sub parsefile {
  my $self = shift;
  my $file = shift;

  open(FILE,$file);
  my $file;
  while(<FILE>) { $file .= $_; }
  ...

Note the two appearances of "my $file".

Edit by tye to replace PRE tags with CODE tags

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
