I find that the Jabber part is really easy!  Just trial and error with
gabber to see what is sent to the Perl client, then look it up in
jabber-programmers.pdf.

Now the hard part:
I find that threads are used in the transport code (I looked at AIM and ICQ)
and I would assume that they are needed since a single transport pretends
to be the IM user for each of the clients.

Any suggestions on how to implement this in Perl?  I have no experience
in threads in any language... :(
