Wow, seek and ye shall find. I went hinting tonight for a command-line AOL client, or ideally an AOL module for Perl, and here it is.

This will let me enhance AOLiza in a bunch of ways, most notably that it won't require a semi-dedicated mac running Applescript.

It'll also be more robust, let me have several screen names running simultaneously (different personas), be a heck of a lot faster (though I'll still keep delays in to make it feel real), and will let me open the project up to everyone. I should be able to handle dozens, if not hundreds, of simultaneous conversations.

Anyhow, it's back to real work for me now, so other than putting up a few gems that came in this weekend, AOLiza enhancements will have to wait 'till next weekend.
