Kopete Massive Messenger is a Kommander script that lets you send repetitive messages to your Kopete contacts.

Devel::Messenger is a Perl module who let your code talk to you.

SYNOPSIS

use Devel::Messenger qw{note};

# set up localized subroutine
local *note = Devel::Messenger::note {
output => print,
level => 2,
pkgname => 1,
linenumber => 1,
wrap => ["< !--", "-- >n"],
};

# print a note
note "This is a sample noten";

# print a multipart note
note "This is line two. ";
note "continue", "This is still line two.n";

# print if level is high enough
note 2, "This is debug level twon";

Do you want your program to tell you what it is doing? Send this messenger into the abyss of your code to bring back to you all the pertinent information you want.

First, set notes in your code, in-line comments that start with note instead of #.

# this is an in-line comment (it is boring)
note "this is a note (things start getting exciting now)n";

To keep your program from giving you terrible errors about note not being defined, give it something to do.

use subs qw{note};
sub note {}

Or you could import the slightly more powerful note subroutine defined in Devel::Messenger.

use Devel::Messenger qw{note};

By itself, note does not do anything. Right now, all it is doing is making sure Perl doesnt give you an error message and die.

GOIM is a full featured jabber / XMPP client with special features (extensions) for gamers. (e.g. broadcasting a notification when you join a server.. and see which games others play and join them with one click on the game icon beside their name)
GOIM uses the Eclipse Rich Client Plattform as GUI and SMACK as its jabber library.
You can also use GOIM InsideEclipse IDE.
GOIM is still in an early Beta Stage, which means it may contains bugs and misses features.
Main features:
- Send information about which game is played on which server (This is done by sending a presence with extended information. The information which game on which server will also be visible in the show part, so even people using another client (or icq/msn/..) will see what/where you are playing.
- Current supported games are: Unreal Tournament 2004, Live for Speed, Americas Army, TeamSpeak 2 (not a game, but works the same way)
- Basic Messenging and Presence
- Discover and subscribe to Jabber transports (which allows communication with icq, msn, aim, etc. users)
Enhancements:
- This release includes two new plugins - the InGame Messenger for DirectX 8 games, as well as the GameServer Browser which allows you to query HLSW server lists.
In addition there were many other fixes and enhancements:
- Usability fixes for linux and macOS (including a new chat window which does not use the Browser widget and therefore does not rely on any platform dependent features)
- Added support for jabber File Transfer
- Commands used to launch a game can now be customized
- Fixed bug when autojoining MUC rooms on connecting.

You probably wonder what this is and why I wrote this. Some more information can be found in the DESIGN document that is included in this package.

This software is written by Johannes Verelst and is licensed through the GPL license (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

Note that this is pre-alpha code, it probably does a bit that you want, but dont email me bugreports or feature requests. It is under heavy development.

If this program doesnt run try to install corectly all required perl modules yourself.

The idea for this program came when I was getting annoyed by the fact that I had to use different programs for both IRC and MSN. Since I dont know of any good MSN clients that can do IRC too (on unix, ofcourse), I started thinking about the other way around: an IRC client that can do MSN.

When I saw a piece of software written by Adam Swann that allows easy connectivity to MSN with perl, I decided to write an IRC server in perl that would connect to MSN for you. This is the result.
