Net::AIM is a Perl extension for AOL Instant Messenger TOC protocol.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::AIM;

$aim = new Net::AIM;
$conn = $aim->newconn(Screenname => Perl AIM,
Password => yaddayadda);
$aim->start;

This module implements an OO interface to the Aol Instant Messenger TOC protocol.

This version contains not much more than hacked code that merely connects to the aol TOC servers and acts on instant messages.

AIM Sniff allows administrators to see how often users are chatting to monitor for abuse and you can also use AIM Sniff to monitor for cases of harassment or pirated software trading. It has been tested on FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X.
AIM Sniff is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Enhancements:
- Several bugfixes from the alpha release are included, as well as a few feature enhancements.
- Daemon mode is now working, and there is a feature to not use a handles file (useful when using the software behind a NAT).
- In addition, the install will prompt for MySQL admin credentials for creating the database.
- Issues with the MSN message types crashing the DB and connections to the DB timing out after a period of time have been fixed.
- Also fixed is "noise" from database SQL statements.
