Description:
I need a Perl script to interface AOL's webmail.
I'm currently working on personal software to login into my aol email account via webmail, download my email, and manage it since AOL doesn't have any decent mail management features. I could then code custom autoresponders, etc. to be used with my AOL email. However, I can't get past the login process. I need a script that can login for me (must be in Perl).
They use client side executed javascript in the login process. I don't know javascript, therefore I can not emulate what it's supposed to execute in Perl.
Check it out by logging in at AOL.com with an AOL account and see how the login process works.
Deliverables:
Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. Complete copyrights to all work purchased.
Special Conditions / Other:
I will pay a $500 bonus if completed within a week (2 week max).
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.
We monitor all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressers on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.

| I'm interested in bidding, but I'm a little confused as to exactly how much work you need done. Is the bid just to get the script to log into your account, or would more be needed, ie mail parsing, storage, setup for future autoresponders, etc.? |

| I could provide you with some functions to log-in, log-out, get messages, and send messages. I would probably use the IO::Socket module for the actual transferring to/from the AOL server. I also feel confident of my ability to deliver within a week.
Thanks for considering my bid. |
