Could someone paste the msn command and where to put them?

Thanks

txt files isnt the best idea for storing information
you could store them like

$details->{$victim}->{name}= 'Keenie';
$details->{$victim}->{age} = '18';
$details->{$victim}->{location} = 'Canada';

then just use Storable to store the $details hash ref then you can just load it and easily find peoples details based on their email address that is passed when they send you a message

With Storable...if your bot suddenly signs on, is the data still there? Or is it lost. One thing I've found with storing data in files, is if the data isn't stored right after a change, and the bot signs off for some reason (other than logoff), the new data is lost...sometimes the entire file.

EDITED: Sorry that I didn't clarify...but I don't use Storable...and was wondering if Storable will save the data even if the bot signs off right away.
