This is a group of Perl programs I wrote to perform specific interactions across the popular AIM messaging protocol. Mostly they are simple bots.

Filename/Link Requirements Description
automessage.pl Net::AIMTOCUses the AIM network to automatically send messages to one person (spam them) repeatedly.
index.cgi CGIThis is the web interface to relay information on to the automessager robot.
awaymessage.cgi [None]The AIM program used to allow away messages to be set by loading a aim:goaway? command from a web browser. This looks looks up away messages in a text database and reloads the page every few minutes, generating the user a new away message in this interval.
schools.pl LWP::Useragent - Net::AIMTOC - Geo::WeatherThis is a rather complicated AIM robot that announces school closings. In Ohio, it wasn't rare to have school closed and it was rather difficult to find out which schools were closed due to timing issues. This script allowed my friends and I to receive notices when schools in the area, especially our school, were closed. It updated all users about any closed schools every half hour. It also allowed weather lookups via the Geo::Weather module
