Perlbal-Long polling Vs Jabber

[Prateek Mathur]

So if djabberd and perlbal are comparable in the way they perform, it could
be better off using djabberd since its easy to integrate ur pieces of
software i.e client to server(C2S) and Server 2Server(S2S) due its xml
protocol and its pluggable nature.
For having perlbal do long polling, may require some changes in perlbal code
so that you could integrate your custom plugin which again is in perl(like
the IMVU folks)? This could be a little difficult for people who dont know
perl.In this aspect jabber has a generic xml protocol to be followed which
could be lot easier?
Let me know if Im wrong anywhere.I'm just trying to analyze what could be
best in what kind of scenario.A head to head comparison.
Perlbal ofcourse could have many other things like internal url routing,
load balancing etc etc..which could be lagging in a  jabber implementation.
Whats ideal where and why, thats the real question..

Thanks
Prateek.
