AIM BOT Connection

I need a perl script that will run on a Linux server that connects to AIM and acts like an answer bot. However, I want to be able to program my own PHP script that will do all the retrieval of answers. I want to be able to enter my screen name and password in the perl script and then run it from a command line. I want all IM's received by the bot to be logged to a text file. I will write the PHP portion that will receive the IM commands sent by users, process the commands and return the results to the per script to then send an IM to the user. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
