You could also use a custom jabber handler. There was a really nice
article in Linux Magazine (IIRC in either the July or August issue)
about jabber and creating your own handlers in perl. Although I
haven't tinkered with it enough to give you an example, I'm sure you
could easily use JabberPy (see jabberpy.sourceforge.net) for it.
