Not really about Perl, but . . .
Samba's smbclient using the -M switch lets you send a popup message to a Windows machine.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object
system by accident. -- Schemer

Forgive my paranoia, but considering how often Messenger is used for nefarious purposes (spam. Every 10 minutes.) compared to how often it's used for legitimate purposes (I'm still waiting), I want to hear some background on what you're planning on doing before I agree to help.

Are you really worried about the OP (who can't google for smbclient) writing an efficient messenger service spammer with perl? With the amount of work he went through for his original post, he would be lucky to make his loop break out of his local network. =)
Also I have very little sympathy for people that can't figure out how to turn off the service or block it with their router -- maybe the messenger spam will annoy them enough to get them to stop using their computer before they end up clicking on the next worm that hits their inbox. =)
Sorry I am so cynical today, between EMC and Lotus Notes I am very frustrated.

A cron job runs on unix every minute which detects locks on a unique row between 2 Oracle users. The script hanging off the cron job detects the IP address of the 2 PC's.
The 2 oracle users causing the lock will be sent a message informing them the name of the other locking user and also inform them that 1 of them has to discard their changes.
