Perl already had libraries for those, and zillion more in CPAN.

With Rivescript you could even write a chatbot, and OFC the "original" one for Perl was "MegaHal". Also, it made pretty easy to bind the chatbot to an IRC network (and later, MSN and Jabber).

Good times.



Years ago I made a Perl AIM bot that used MegaHal has the backend and would turn it loose in chat rooms.
