=head1 NAME

Gaim - Perl extension the Gaim instant messenger.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Gaim;

=head1 ABSTRACT

  This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins
  in Gaim.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins
in Gaim. With this, developers can write perl scripts that can be
loaded in Gaim as plugins. The scripts can interact with IMs, chats,
accounts, the buddy list, gaim signals, and more.

The API for the perl interface is very similar to that of the Gaim C
API, which can be viewed at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/ or in
the header files in the Gaim source tree.
