[NewSW] jabber - an XML-based instant messaging system
Introducing a new tag :) [NewSW] == New SoftWare
http://www.jabber.org/ is an open-source IMS (Instant Messaging System)
that uses XML. it has multiply interfaces. There is a perl team
http://perl.jabber.org/, but there is no a pure mod_perl solution.
Since it's an OSS product -- it might catch and get spreaded better than
ICQ and similar commercial IMS systems. So I thought that if you are
interested in a nice project which is based mod_perl, you probably want to
check it out.
I've just seen it, so if any of you have tried it, you are welcome to
comment. If you were working on a secret version of the mod_perl interface
you are welcome to disclose the secret too :)

Ok, I don't know about others, but I have an Error Handler which ICQ's me about
Server Errors as they occur. It is VERY handy, but the implementation is a bit
hacky. Something like Jabber Perl for SENDING messages could tie in very nicely
with an Error Handle module, for paging Web Admins of issues, as they occur!
And nothing makes you get on to a problem faster than 30 ICQ Alerts/minute. ^_^
I'm looking forward to setting up a nicer system with Jabber...

I don't care for Web-chat either, but I was recently asked to provide a
proposal for one as part of a site tool kit; everything in the kit has
to be Web-based, preferably in Perl or using Perl glue.
Thanks Stas, I appreciate the pointer! When the Jabber client is
farther along I might attempt a mod_perl-friendly translation if none
other has arisen by then.

Sure, but it's not like you need mod_perl - all you really need is a
Jabber::* set of modules (which I believe already exist), and then let
everyone plug into those when they want IM on the web (horrid idea though!
:)).

A little auto-refreshing frame, that renders the data into another frame
when this arrives. Did I get off the track? I thought it's possible, just
like with the chat systems.

Err, this is an instant messenger. How on earth would it have a mod_perl
interface?
