Bot::JabberBot provides a simple object interface to a jabber bot, very similar to Bot::BasicBot for IRC bots. It will be superseded by a larger POE-based bot framework providing support for different IM protocols and other net access protocols, with state in a central bot core.
To use a Bot::JabberBot you must register an account for it with a jabber server through a regular client, and set up transports to other IM accounts in this way. i thought of doing this automatically, but decided it would be spammy and might lead to bot abuse.
