A.I. for AIM

[ignoranceisblis]

I wrote a small A.I. based on my NAIM log files, and a few other commands I build it

I wrote the script to run, store the respone in a file, then read the file

in this way I can go

perl /var/www/cgi-bin/arty/arty.cgi 'user=elliot&externalfile=bashtalking&talk=hello'
# that would say "hello" to arty as the user "elliot" and store the response in "bashtalking"

I put arty on IRC (/server ignoranceisbliss.ath.cx #ignoranceisbliss) by having him run that script to anything anyone says, followed by a short script to read whatever I called the temp file

I was wondering if anyone could describe how I could put arty on AIM, I have the Net::AIM module, but I have no idea what to do with it

T.I.A.

p.s. also I built a small web interface, if you don't like IRC, the address is arty.homeunix.com

I discoverd Net::AIM and a few examples on how to connect to the aim server
it keeps telling me:
Can't call method "add_handler" without a package or object reference at arty_aim line 8.

I found the example at webreference.com
here it is

use Net::AIM;
my $nick = "clusterofmayhem";
my $aim = new Net::AIM;
$aim->debug(1);
my $conn = $aim->newconn(Screenname => 'ArtyMachine',
Password => 'thepassword')
or die "Can't connect to AIM server.\n";
$conn->add_handler('config', \&on_config);
$aim-start;
sub on_config {
my ($self, $event) = @_;
my ($str) = $event->args;
$self->set_config($str);
$self->send_im($nick, 'testing...');
}

is there another module that I need to make it work?

I've never used Net::AIM, but for all of my module help, I go here:

thanks, your link hooked me up
I got him working,
he is on AIM as ArtyMachine if anyone wants to talk to him

How was this issue resolved? I'm stuck at the same place trying to use Net::AIM and getting the add_handler error. cpan isn't helping me at all, or I might just not be seeing something in the documentation. Can someone point me in the right direction here?
