Do these modules exists for Trillian?

[SergioQ]

Is there a Perl module that exists for Trillian?

If not, how about a command line version for the PC?

I realize that people might think right off the bat, "oh no, he wants to build a bot for bad uses." I can assure you that is not the case.

Thanks ahead,

I've found an "old" post (Jan 2007) on the Trillian Forums about a Trillian 2.x plugin called TrillPerl. Supposedly it works with 3.1 as well, but is real flaky in Astra. Keep Contact Statistics [Archive] - Trillian Discussion Forums A quick google search led me to TrillPerl development site where you can download the plugin.

While I do not know if Trillian Astra has a 'command-line' version i'm sure that Pidgin has a text-based ncurses interface called finch. Pidgin also supports Perl scripts without the need of 'plugins'/modules. Scripting and Plugins - Pidgin - Trac is a FAQ page that has links that help you with setting up your Perl scripts.

If you really want to write a robot i suggest you forget Trillian and Pidgin. They are too feature rich to run smoothly as robots (IMHO). Pork (which only connects to AIM and IRC) is probably a better solution for writing robots. It supports Perl scripts.
