The Jabber::Connection package provides basic functions for connecting clients and components to a Jabber server.

The package contains three modules:

• Jabber::Connection

  Handles connectivity, authentication, XML streaming and callbacks

• Jabber::NodeFactory

  Enables creation and manipulation of Jabber packets represented by Jabber::NodeFactory::Node objects

  Node: The latest version (0.04) of Jabber::NodeFactory::Node requires Scalar::Util for a function to weaken a parent/child pointer so circular references (and lack of garbage collection) can be avoided.

• Jabber::NS

  A heap of constants representing the Jabber namespace values and other things

It's a young package, all comments, questions and so on to the author, please: dj.adams@pobox.com
