Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks for the script. Have been using it for some time now. Instead of using it with autoaway though, I use it in conjunction with another script which uses my phone to detect whether I’m at my desk or not:

Hi, I recently release a prowl-like application for the Android. I am contacting you to ask if you have any interest on adding Android support on your application. Please contact me if you do and I could be of any help. Thank you.

I was googling around for a script like this, found this, but it didn’t play well with autaway.pl. While looking around I found a fork of this script, however, it’s focusing on the use of autoaway.pl instead of awayproxy.pl. Works like a charm for me.

Thanks for this script, it’s working well for me but there is one thing that bugs me, I’m using this together with autoaway.pl and when the script runs it causes autoaway to return me to online state and reset the away counter. I’ve asked around #irssi about this and they suggest I merge the two scripts. I’m not sure if the problem could be solved in prowlnotify.pl or autoaway.pl without merging them as I’m not familiar with perl. Has anyone else ran into this issue and maybe found a solution? I’ll post back if I manage solve it.

I used cpan to install Crypt::SSLeay and openssl-devel and then put “use Crypt::SSLeay;” near the top and it worked for me

I use debian, and, i having probl;ems with irc and perl altogether, so when i saw this, i kinda saw some glimmer of hope but, i realised it has same name 2 times??? I assume a type but, could you please provide with the correct libs needed exactly? not just the one i see there.. btw: installing xchat and eggdrop adds some of the modules for irc but… with perl, i am experiencing problems running even a simple irc tailbot :s so am hoping this ;
libcrypt-ssleay-perl and libcrypt-ssleay-perl
is somehow a type and, it means there is one packge or, just type ?? am surprised no deb users have spoken up yet…but anyhow! thanks!

Luke: if you’re using Debian or Ubuntu, try to install libcrypt-ssleay-perl and libcrypt-ssleay-perl, restart irssi and try again. Worked for me.

Hi,

This looks great, however I get the following;

15:38 -!- Irssi: From Irssi::Script::prowlnotify:
15:38 -!- Irssi: Sending prowl
15:38 -!- Irssi: From Irssi::Script::prowlnotify:
15:38 -!- Irssi: Notification not posted: 500 Can’t locate object method “new” via package “LWP::Protocol::https::Socket”

Even though I have the packages installed.

Any ideas?
