[JDEV] Perl Headline Delivery script Error?

[Piers Harding]

Well - I'll bow to DJ's superrior knowledge - but off the top of my head, It sounds like a version issue with Net::Jabber.  At arround 1.020 ( or some such version ) Net::Jabber added the ID as the first arguement to a callback, so you could allways try dumping out the values being passed in with Data::Dumper.


Cheers.

When I set up presence (this is based on examples from the book), I create a Net::Jabber::Presence object, fill it appropriately, and pass it to $connection->Send() (not PresenceSend). It works for me.

I haven't found anything yet that affects me in the code examples, but there is always the possibility that something has gone amiss. I suggest you check the Errata page for the book on the O'Reilly website. Also, as you have already pointed out, the Net::Jabber libs are a moving target, as is Jabber itself, to some extent.
