I tried it and you can scratch it.

But it seems sendxmpp (http://sendxmpp.platon.sk/) seems to fit the bill 
quite well.

Requirements on Centos 4.4 are met with packages available through the 
common repositories. Just did `yum install perl-Net-XMPP' and the required 
packages were installed.

Now the challenge is to find a jabber server that will work with this perl 
module. (XS4ALL is listed as non-working.)
