Ive started a full client writen in Perl TK useing the msn.pm
Its name will be: Perl Interface MultiProtocol messenger or: PIMP messenger
Its Current Features:- login
 - Recieve messages
- Full buddy lists and group lists
- send messages
Really just basic chat..but its a start. Im currently adding menus to set your status and display name and basic things like that, But the gole is to add a plugin type interface for autoresponce things..and special feaures. I also plan to add other client support.
Im currently looking for people that would like to help, so post here or PM me..
also as may suggestions as i could get in this post would be great!
my future plans: - Add, Remove, Block users
- Join Convo support
- Change Status/Display name
- DP and CE support
- Plugin support
- AIM
- File Transfer (with later msn.pm build)
Ideas: - Skins (Dazzy)
- Notifications (darkmonkey)
ill be posting the source to this hopefully later today

Ok.
Nice logo thingy Dazzy .
Another idea - Have the Window's "bubble" messages to show when someone logs in/out, and have the program run in the taskbar. Also allow it to store your username/password, and log stuff.

Store the passwords encrypted in an INI file including other info.
Login name/e-mail adress, path to avatar/display picture, etc. |

MD5 encryption rawks. It's algorythm is so complicated, it is almost impossible to decypher, and yet is very easy to use . The type of file is not important - it's the text inside it .
--
Another idea, in the screenie to the far right, you have it as "you" and the user's name. Any chance you can have fonts and colours sent back, and displayed on the screen. Also, having a p4 (chat only) name would be cool .

Everyone says they love jabber, but then no one ever goes on it . Multi-client would be cool though. How about sniffing around YIM?

*raises hand* I use Jabber!
You can use Tk::RichText or whatever it is for conversation windows, so when you get a user's font you can display it correctly in the window.

Do you sign on as much as you use AIM and MSN? The only reason I do is because it's all built into Trillian ^_^.
Cool idea about the Richtext thing, I've looked at it and it looks rocking B)
