Net::Jabber::Client - Jabber Client Library Net::Jabber::Client is a module that provides a developer easy access to the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol. Client.pm uses Protocol.pm to provide enough high level APIs and automation of the low level APIs that writing a Jabber Client in Perl is trivial. For those that wish to work with the low level you can do that too, but those functions are covered in the documentation for each module. Net::Jabber::Client provides functions to connect to a Jabber server, login, send and receive messages, set personal information, create a new user account, manage the roster, and disconnect. You can use all or none of the functions, there is no requirement. For more information on how the details for how Net::Jabber is written please see the help for Net::Jabber itself. For a full list of high level functions available please see Net::Jabber::Protocol.

Basic Functions
use Net::Jabber qw(Client); $Con = new Net::Jabber::Client(); $Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.org"); if ($Con->Connected()) { print "We are connected to the server...\n"; } # # For the list of available function see Net::Jabber::Protocol. # $Con->Disconnect();

Basic Functions
new(debuglevel=>0|1|2, - creates the Client object. debugfile debugfile=>string, should be set to the path for the debug debugtime=>0|1) log to be written. If set to "stdout" then the debug will go there. debuglevel controls the amount of debug. For more information about the valid setting for debuglevel, debugfile, and debugtime see Net::Jabber::Debug. Connect(hostname=>string, - opens a connection to the server port=>integer, listed in the hostname (default connectiontype=>string, localhost), on the port (default ssl=>0|1) 5222) listed, using the connectiontype listed (default tcpip). The two connection types available are: tcpip standard TCP socket http TCP socket, but with the headers needed to talk through a web proxy If you specify ssl, then it will be used to connect. Disconnect() - closes the connection to the server. Connected() - returns 1 if the Transport is connected to the server, and 0 if not. By Ryan Eatmon in May of 2000 for http://jabber.org.
