[JDEV] Net::Jabber & Transports

[Chris]

For a working Net::Jabber transport, see my pager_t at
http://www.melug.org/~chrisj
 I have a new version with to post with more config options, a better
config file parser and envelope support, but you should get the idea ;-)

> 1. My Jabber server is up an working, but doesn't support other
> transports - such as ICQ and AIM. How do I configure it so it does? I

> tried to add a user from one of those transports to my Roster.

> 2. I'm planning to write a fairly simple Transport use Net::Jabber so
> that my Perl application can send messages. Unfortunately, the
> documentation is a bit thin in Net::Jabber::Transport. Once I connect
> with my transport, do I need to maintain a roster, etc.? How can I just
> send messages? Here's what I've got:
> 
>   my $trans = Net::Jabber::Transport->new;
>   $trans->Connect(hostname => 'jabber',
>                 secret => 'test',
>                 transportname => 'test'
>                );
> 
>   print $trans->Connected ? "We're connected!\n" : "We're not connected
> :-(\n";
>   # No message gets sent here.
>   $trans->MessageSend(to => 'dwTheory at jabber.salon.com',
>                     body => "Let's go grab some lunch!");
>   $trans->Disconnect;
> 
> 3. Where shall I send patches for Net::Jabber?
> 
> TIA!
