While not a \& client in and of itself, it provides all of the necessary back\-end \& functions to make a CGI client or command\-line perl client feasible and \& easy to use. Net::Jabber is a wrapper around the rest of the official \& Net::Jabber::xxxxxx packages. \& \& There is are example scripts in the example directory that provide you \& with examples of very simple Jabber programs. \& \& \& NOTE: The parser that XML::Stream::Parser provides, as are most Perl \& parsers, is synchronous. If you are in the middle of parsing a packet \& and call a user defined callback, the Parser is blocked until your \& callback finishes. This means you cannot be operating on a packet, \& send out another packet and wait for a response to that packet. It \& will never get to you. Threading might solve this, but as of the \& writing of this, threading in Perl is not quite up to par yet. This \& issue will be revisted in the future. .Ve .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" .Vb 3 \& For a client: \& use Net::Jabber; \& my $client = new Net::Jabber::Client(); \& \& For a component: \& use Net::Jabber; \& my $component = new Net::Jabber::Component(); .Ve .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .Vb 6 \& The Net::Jabber module does not define any methods that you will call \& directly in your code. Instead you will instantiate objects that call \& functions from this module to do work. The three main objects that \& you will work with are the Message, Presence, and IQ modules. Each one \& corresponds to the Jabber equivalent and allows you get and set all \& parts of those packets. .Ve .SH "PACKAGES" .IX Header "PACKAGES" .Vb 2 \& For more information on each of these packages, please see the man page \& for each one. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Client" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Client" .Vb 4 \& This package contains the code needed to communicate with a Jabber \& server: login, wait for messages, send messages, and logout. It uses \& XML::Stream to read the stream from the server and based on what kind \& of tag it encounters it calls a function to handle the tag. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Component" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Component" .Vb 7 \& This package contains the code needed to write a server component. A \& component is a program tha handles the communication between a jabber \& server and some outside program or communications package (IRC, talk, \& email, etc...) With this module you can write a full component in just \& a few lines of Perl. It uses XML::Stream to communicate with its host \& server and based on what kind of tag it encounters it calls a function \& to handle the tag. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Protocol" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Protocol" .Vb 2 \& A collection of high\-level functions that Client and Component use to \& make their lives easier through inheritance. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::JID" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::JID" .Vb 3 \& The Jabber IDs consist of three parts: user id, server, and resource. \& This module gives you access to those components without having to \& parse the string yourself. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Message" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Message" .Vb 2 \& Everything needed to create and read a received from the \& server. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Presence" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Presence" .Vb 2 \& Everything needed to create and read a received from the \& server. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::IQ" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::IQ" .Vb 2 \& IQ is a wrapper around a number of modules that provide support for the \& various Info/Query namespaces that Jabber recognizes. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Stanza" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Stanza" .Vb 3 \& This module represents a namespaced stanza that is used to extend a \& , , and . Ultimately each namespace is \& documented in a JEP of some kind. http://jabber.org/jeps/ \& \& The man page for Net::Jabber::Stanza contains a listing of all \& supported namespaces, and the methods that are supported by the objects \& that represent those namespaces. .Ve .SS "Net::Jabber::Namespaces" .IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Namespaces" .Vb 5 \& Jabber allows for any stanza to be extended by any bit of XML. This \& module contains all of the internals for defining the Jabber based \& extensions defined by the JEPs. The documentation for this module \& explains more about how to add your own custom namespace and have it be \& supported. .Ve .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Ryan Eatmon .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" This module is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
