New version in progress - Net::Jabber::Bot

[Todd Rinaldo]

I've just converted NJB to Moose but have not released onto CPAN. My
conversion process has revealed some lacking areas in testing. Also I
need to get the TLS thing working with gmail (and my own jabber
server). If anyone wants to take a look at the changes, they're
available on google code in the trunk. I'm going with 2.1.0 as the new
version.

Is there anything significant about it's usage that has changed?

[Todd Rinaldo]

I'm the major change is that the options have changed when creating
the object. I'm having trouble standardizing the syntax to make sense.

Changes:
1. Moose has different new. You pass in a hash, not a hash ref:
Do this: NJB->new(value1 => "djd", value2 => "sss");
instead of: NJB->new({value1 => "djd", value2 => "sss"});

2. Changed values used to pass in callback functions. Now called:
message_function, background_function. I'm open to suggestions on
this. Look at the module for all the "has" variables. Anything on that
list is open season to pass in via new. I need to update
examples/docs.

3. Using Moose, so bad pass in to new will result in a die signal. If
you want it to die gracefully, you'll have to do:
eval {NJB->new(...)};
if($@) {
React to bad event here.
}

All of these changes are to get me out Class::Std, which just was
never adopted and is somewhat abandoned in favor of Moose.

Again, all of this is very much pre-release. I garuntuee nothing at
the moment. I'm very interested in input from you guys who are using
the product.

Thanks,

Todd

Moose constructors will take a hash or hash ref...
