Am experimenting with an application to monitor my system and alert me via IM if I'm available. I have a private jabber server running.
Have been doing it by writing a client using the Net::XMPP perl modules however I keep reading about these jabber 'services'? So (and assume no underlying knowledge at all here) can someone explain 1. What a jabber 'service' is and how it differs from a program-controlled client. 2. Is it possible to write a 'service' in perl? If so how? Sorry if this is OT for this list- I'm a total jabber newbie. Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
