NAME
Purple - Perl extension to the libpurple instant messenger library. SYNOPSIS
use Purple; ABSTRACT
This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in libpurple. DESCRIPTION
This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in Purple. With this, developers can write perl scripts that can be loaded in Purple as plugins. The scripts can interact with IMs, chats, accounts, the buddy list, libpurple signals, and more. The API for the perl interface is very similar to that of the Purple C API, which can be viewed at http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/ or in the header files in the Purple source tree. FUNCTIONS
@accounts = Purple::accounts Returns a list of all accounts, online or offline. @chats = Purple::chats Returns a list of all chats currently open. @connections = Purple::connections Returns a list of all active connections. @conversations = Purple::conversations Returns a list of all conversations, both IM and chat, currently open. @conv_windows = Purple::conv_windows Returns a list of all conversation windows currently open. @ims = Purple::ims Returns a list of all instant messages currently open.
