Here is an idea I had. The user enters a command like "!im abc54" The bot would load the URL for a new IM and put abc54 as the person to send the IM to. Here are a few more examples:
User: !add abc54
Bot will open the URL to add a user to the buddy list with abc54 as the person to add
User: !www http://google.com
Bot will open google.com in the user's default browser
I don't know if this is possible in perl, but I thought it would make a good command. Like always...juggernaut is always great.
That stuff you want would require the user to run the script on their own computer, rather than remotly, as a bot does. However, you could get them to download an .EXE which would run and do stuff, however I think it's rather pointless.
