...However, it blocks them for the time that the bot is online. When the bot logs off, and then later signs on again, the individuals can still see the bot and talk to them. The only thing is, is that it warns them when they talk to it.
If I sign onto the bot's screenname, the "blocked" users are listed in the deny list (under Preferences->Privacy).
I use Net::AIM...perhaps if I use Net::Oscar, would that make a difference.
Sorry to keep asking more questions but... 1. What are the differnces between Net::AIM and Net::Oscar 2. Where can I get Net::Oscar 3. If I use Net::Oscar, what do I need to change in my code (ie, Net::AIM uses $aim throughout the code, will that have to change)? _________________ Anthony Arslan

In the list of "commands", I found: $aim->get($key) ... "This method simply gets the value of $key from the internal hash" ... but it doesn't really say what $key should be. _________________ Anthony Arslan

I don't know, try Net::OSCAR. You can either get version 2.0 from CPAN, or you can get version 1.0 from either of the bots I uploaded (CKS ChaosBot or CKS NexusBot).
I personally prefer version 1.0, because 2.0 messed up the chat support - chats totally don't even work at all; 2.0 made the bot stop talking after about 20 minutes with the error "Request denied"; 2.0 suddenly broke on me one day, something about a Win32 error that couldn't be fixed.
The only advantage 2.0 really has is buddy icon support and support for invisibility settings - I could get neither of them to work anyway, I kept getting the error "Your client doesn't support buddy icons" or "Your client doesn't support extended status", etc. _________________ Current Site (2008) http://www.cuvou.com/
