Thanks for the reply. I think it would be misleading to imply that this code only works with IRC. True, I've been testing it in an IRC bot, but the module doesn't care where its information comes from. It's happy as long as you provide a user ID and some text. Here's the important line from my original post: my ($this_id, $referent_id) = $threader->observe($nick, $msg); $nick isn't required to be an IRC nickname. It might just as easily be an AIM or MSN ID. It could be a telephone number if you're threading SMS messages. It can even be an e-mail address, in which case $msg would probably be the message body. To be honest, I've only tested the module with relatively short messages. I've also considered the Chatbot:: namespace. The module doesn't actually say anything, and it's not designed for exclusive use by bots. The enigma of where to place this module remains. -- Rocco Caputo - http://poe.perl.org/
