Net::YMSG 1.2

Net::YMSG is a Perl interface to the Yahoo! Messenger IM protocol.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::YMSG;

my $yahoo = Net::YMSG->new(
id => your_yahoo_id,
password => your_password,
);
$yahoo->login or die "Cant login Yahoo!Messenger";
$yahoo->send(recipient_yahoo_id, Hello World!);

Net::YMSG is a client class for connecting with the Yahoo! Messenger server, and transmitting and receiving a message.

Since implement of a protocol is the result of analyzing and investigating a packet, it has an inadequate place. However, it is working as expected usually.

METHODS

This section documents method of the Net::YMSG class.

Net::YMSG->new()

It should be called with following arguments (items with default value are optional):

id => yahoo id
password => password
pre_login_url => url which refers to setting information.
(default http://msg.edit.yahoo.com/config/)
hostname => server hostname
(default scs.yahoo.com)

Returns a blessed instantiation of Net::YMSG.

Note: If you plan to connect with Yahoo!India (yahoo.co.in), it sets up as follows.

my $yahoo_japan = Net::YMSG->new(
pre_login_url => http://edit.my.yahoo.co.in/config/,
hostname => cs.yahoo.co.in,
);

Since it connects with Yahoo!(yahoo.com), this procedure is unnecessary in almost all countries.
