in reply to Perl and MSN

My suggestion, since you are already familiar with SourceForge, is to search for msn messengers then you will get a list of things like gnumsg which is an msn protocol messenger written in c++. From there you should be able to find the ins and outs of how msn messenger works and adapt it to whatever suits your needs.
