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?

This is really great – worked like a charm. Thanks so much for publishing the script!

Hmm. This script seems to cause irssi to seg fault whenever my nick is hilighted. D’oh.

[...] prowlnotify.pl – This script is cool for those who have an iPhone. When your connection is set to away, either by /away or by disconnecting from screen (using the next script), Prowl Notify will use APIs to send your message to your iPhone. It is quite cool if you have an iPhone like I do. [...]

Well this didn’t work for me…
I generated API key, pasted it into the .prowlkey and loaded the script in the irssi.
Then i closed my irc-client and my friend tried sent me couple of private messages but i got no new notifications on my iphone.
Is there log or something where i could check what is going wrong?

Thanks for the script Interesting use of the irssi proxy, I just SSH into my machine from whatever computer instead.

Just wanted to drop you two lines:

(1) Thank you for this script. Just testing it out not 5 minutes ago and worked like a charm.

Using this script and screen_away, I have a perfect combination of notification.

(2) This has inspired me to find other ways to use Prowl, and I’ve already whipped up a NAGIOS event notification via Prowl script, and have already put it to use at work.

Thanks for the script, thanks for the inspiration.
