How do I program for Jabber?

I've got it in my mind that I want to be able to code some Jabber/XMPP stuff. Using Net::XMPP, I was able to get into sending stuff, but not really deal with the presence detection aspects. I looked at Net::XMPP2, but that is marked as depricated in favor of AnyEvent::XMPP. But if AnyEvent::XMPP exists, CPAN hasn't heard of it.

If you're going to program for Jabber with Perl, what modules do you use?

AnyEvent::XMPP is on CPAN

I just started to spin my head into AnyEvent and so far it looks very promising. I'm building up classes mostly using Moose so they keep Object-Oriented as much as possible (so hiding complexity from the interface), while still using the super-cow powers of callbacks in event-programming.

AnyEvent::XMPP is on CPAN (by elmex): http://search.cpan.org/user/elmex/AnyEvent-XMPP-0.2/

I haven't used it though. Happy hacking

I may find documentation on CPAN.org, but unless I can install it via CPAN, it's not on CPAN.

Otherwise, a very helpful comment, and I thank you.

I shouldn't have trusted it to do preformatted text. Should've put breaks.

Ah, that's better.

Other options

There is also a POE module and DJabberd.
