You will need to do the SRV lookups yourself in order to hand Net::Jabber 
a hostname, either via Net::DNS (requiring you to know how SRV records 
work), or Net::RULI (interface to extra library, but hands you the results 
on a platter).

I'd point at the ->resolve routine of Jabber::Lite (perl-only Jabber 
parser/whathaveyou), but thats just blatant self-promotion ;)
