Net::AIM v0.01 README Thu Jul 29 19:49:00 EDT 1999 Description: This module is an implementation of the AOL Instant Messenger TOC protocol. This is the first release meaning it won't contain EVERYTHING. It is based on Net::IRC so it has the exact same interface and event driven OO model. I will be fixing the bugs and posting revisions soon. Prerequisites: Net::AIM requires Perl version 5.004 or higher to install and run. Also IO::* is needed. The latest version of Perl can be found at: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/latest.tar.gz (for UNIX), or at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/ for various non-Unix machines. Installation: perl Makefile.PL make make install pray To make it run from this dir, just do the following: ln -s . Net ./aimtest Included Scripts: A test script (aimtest) is included which is similiar to the Net::IRC irctest script. Ahhh who am I kidding it is practically irctest after "perl -pi -e's/irc/aim/g'". Just run ./aimtest provided perl is located in /usr/bin Usage: ./aimtest Copyright info: This module copyright (c) 1999 Aryeh Goldsmith . All rights reserved.
