Hmm ... it looks like there's something called "libfaim", which is a collection of C
subroutines that give access to AIM. My guess is that it's what GAIM uses.
If you're really ambitious, i suppose you could come up with a perl interface to this
library yourself ...

Subject: Re: Did I violate?
Sorry!!! I thought it was well-known.... GAIM is a Linux client for AOL
Instant Messenger. It does everything AOL's IM does, even looks like it, but
it supports certain plugins, and you can write Perl scripts for it. My
questions are - What are some typical things you can make it do by writing
Perl scripts? and Does anyone knwo of any websites / other resources for
tutorials or getting started with writing scripts in Perl for GAIM? Are there
any other requirements for it I should know about?
TIA
