  • Enable ICQ chat functionality where you'd never thought of it before: MUDs, IRC bots, etc.

Developers
If you're just using Net::ICQ in your own perl programs, it would still be wise to join the mailing list, to keep up with any changes in the module. The mailing list is also the place where developers should ask for help with Net::ICQ, and the best place to report bugs. Oh, and you'll probably enjoy the...

User-contributed code archive
In the near future, we'll be setting up an area where developers can share example code and helpful scripts for use with Net::ICQ. Looking for the Net::ICQ equivalent of 'Hello World?' You'll find that and more.
