A chat server and client written in perl. The server is in a stable state and right now the client is in heavy development. The Tk module has been added and a GUI is being constructed to give the client an interface that is easy to use.

Though I am at school now and development has been slowed I thought I would give everyone a little update. Our phone line is scheduled to be tested for DSL capabilities September 9th. So hopefully we will once again be connected and then I won't have to make the hike to campus to use the computer lab. Also, it will be alot easier for me to work on the project, and thus will speed development. So until the 9th, stay well! tor
This is the first Alpha release of Perl Chat. All of the known bugs that caused Perl Chat to function utterly and absolutly wrong have been fixed. The end result is this program that suffers only from a performace problem. (Due to the fact that a timer is used to get messages from the server, and this timer takes too long. But this will be fixed soon I hope). Though it has not yet been tested this program should run anywhere perl will run and since there are no longer any Threads this program should run on default installs of Perl. (This means you win32 users should be able to use this very easily). As a side note, the server seems pretty rock solid right now, aside from the possible threat of malicious attacks against it. But the client still does need some work, especially with the timer as I said before. Since Client 0.0.8: added ability to change your personal info no longer need to edit $host and $port in the perl program, all configuration is done through the the configuration file and Edit->Options. fixed a problem with updating the info from a changed configuration. Since 0.1.0: changed procedure calls from create_gui() to accomodate for the new algorithm and format. rewrite of lower level socket code... Now Multiplexes on the socket connection. Since 0.0.9: Added gif to About popup. Since Server 0.0.8: Rewrote the lower level socket code. No longer need Msg.pm nor RPC.pm
