Speak of the devil, I was just thinking of this on my way home last
night (well, ICQ technically, but the idea is the same).

The conclusion I came to, and others may feel free to disagree with me,
is that such modules are best built as PEAR classes rather than PHP
extensions.  The fact that you're now mentioning that Perl has it as a
PEAR-equivalent style module just bolsters that position.

If you feel adventurous, I'd recommend working on the conversion
yourself.  You've got the basic framework to start from in Perl's
Net::AIM module, it simply needs to be built into a PHP class.

Any thoughts on converting the Perl Net::AIM module to PHP?

I think it would be great to be able to code an AIM bot in PHP.  has
this been discussed regarding the possibility of converting the AIM
protocols and make it an option for compiling into PHP?

heh, well, I'm no PEAR developer so I guess I'll need to wait for
someone else.
