Net::Aim - find out if user is online?

[Experienced but Undocumented]

Is it possible to use Net::AIM to find out if a specific user is online or
offline? If so, how is this done?

Thanks!

Alternately, I would be just as content if I could capture a message a user
sent to me. I'm having troubles with the following from
http://www.webreference.com/perl/tutorial/13/2.html. For some reason it
dies on line 8. Without that line it does not die...but nothing happens
either ;-)

1 use Net::AIM;
2 my $nick = "motherofperlbot";
3 my $aim = new Net::AIM;
4 $aim->debug(1);
5 my $conn = $aim->newconn(Screenname => 'motherofperlbot',
6 Password => 'motherofperl')
7 or die "Can't connect to AIM server.\n";
8 $conn->add_handler('config', \&on_config);
9 $aim-start;
10
11 sub on_config {
12 my ($self, $event) = @_;
13 my ($str) = $event->args;
14 $self->set_config($str);
15 $self->send_im($nick, 'testing...');
16 }
