In some happy coincidence, I tried doing this in Net::YahooMessenger,
which is another module in CPAN, yet happens to have almost the *exact
same code* as Net::YMSG, differing mostly in pod comments and
indentation :/
I fixed the above problem by adding `hostname => 'scs.msg.yahoo.com'` in
the new() invocation, allowing me to do login(), but upon doing start()
it b0rks at line 164 (in login(), of all places, adding an event
handler) due to an undefined scalar being fed to a handler object. I
suspect Net::{YahooMessenger,YMSG}::EventFactory is out of date.

Try POE::Component::YahooMessenger instead, as most Net:: modules are
being quietly displaced by POE components; however, you may not be
prepared to learn yet another framework for manipulating network objects
in Perl (POE::CoYM gets its initial design from POE::CoIRC, so there.)
On the other hand, you might want to consider using another messaging
service with better and more stable APIs, like Jabber (there's
Net::Jabber) or AIM (Net::AIM); you might also want to use persistent
webpresence services Twitter (there's Net::Twitter)
Cheers,
Zakame
