i have finished everything it sais here , here and here . the only thing is i dont know how to start the bot. can anyone help?

PS:its address is chatterbot12@hotmail.com

Wiredbots is outdated, they use the msn.pm that uses MSNP2 which MS has dropped.
You need to download the latest msn.pm which uses MSNP9/MSNP10 here
I can upgrade it to MSNP11 for you, that way your bot will be able to use Personal Messages and all that MSN Messenger 7 stuff.
then you need the SSL updates from here

To start your bot just doubleclick on the .pl file

wow!thanks. i dont need a update rite now but when i click on the .pl file it comes up with notepad! i dont understand this!

Have you installed ActivePerl?
Trust me, you need the updates if you wanna run a bot on the MSN Network.

oh ok
i ment the msnp10

I still wasnt able to make a bot .. .can someone help me with the procedure from start to end ... how do i tell the bot what to do ??

You don't tell it what to do, you program it.
Like:

code:

---

if ($msg =~/^!John/i){
$self->sendmsg("Hi John");
}

---

This will make the bot respond "Hi John" when you write "!john"
$self->sendmsg is defined in the msn.pm

oh i cant program very good  by the way. i think il forget that then! lol

I suggest you go to Bot-Depot (www.bot-depot.com), it's a community devoted to the development of bots for MSN, Y!IM and AIM
