 |
|
| Is it possible to create a perl command line based chat client? Not a big chat like AIM or MSN, but just a script that would let you send and receive messages with people on your network. I know there is a net send command for the command prompt, but you don't get much control with this. Any other methods would be great. |

You could either make your own with POE, and make a nice lil server and protocol, or you could use google.

| The only problem is that all the google results are for a web site. I want mine to be run through the command prompt. so it would probably need its own server |

POE Cookbook: http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook
There's examples there of how to make a chat server, and how to make a TCP client (which is the "chat client" that would connect to the server).
I can only point you in the right direction, if this stuff is way over your head there's not much more I can do. I know that it took me a couple of years with Perl before being able to figure out the mechanics of server/client connections.
