Net::Jabber::Transport - Jabber Transport Library
Net::Jabber::Transport is a module that provides a developer easy access to tranports in the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol.
Transport.pm seeks to provide enough high level APIs and automation of the low level APIs that writing a Jabber Transport in Perl is trivial. For those that wish to work with the low level you can do that too, but those functions are covered in the documentation for each module. Net::Jabber::Transport provides functions to connect to a Jabber server, login, send and receive messages, set personal information, create a new user account, manage the roster, and disconnect. You can use all or none of the functions, there is no requirement. For more information on how the details for how Net::Jabber is written please see the help for Net::Jabber itself. For a full list of high level functions available please see Net::Jabber::Protocol.
use Net::Jabber; $Con = new Net::Jabber::Transport(); $Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.org"); if ($Con->Connected()) { print "We are connected to the server...\n"; } # # For the list of available function see Net::Jabber::Protocol. # $Con->Disconnect();
new(debuglevel=>0|1|2, - creates the Transport object. debugfile debugfile=>string) should be set to the path for the debug log to be written. If set to "stdout" then the debug will go there. debuglevel controls the amount of debug. For more information about the valid setting for debuglevel and debugfile see Net::Jabber::Debug. Connect(hostname=>string, - opens a connection to the server port=>integer, listedt in the hostname value, secret=>string, on the port listed. The defaults transportname=>string) for the two are localhost and 5222. The secret is the password needed to attach the hostname, and the transportname is the name that server and clients will know the transport by. Disconnect() - closes the connection to the server. Connected() - returns 1 if the Transport is connected to the server, and 0 if not.
