jabber bot in perl

Hey everyone I am trying to make a jabber bot and I am having a little trouble handling messages. If the bot's jabber account receives any messages while it's offline when it goes back online it seems to get these messages and puts them in a queue and deals with each one one at a time (that part makes sense to me). The part that doesn't make sense is that I have registered a callback for the message received event and once it receives these offline messages it will fire an event for the first 2 then it will idle. If you send the bot a message at this point it will then fire an event but it will handle offline message #3 instead of the message I just sent it. I think my problem has something to do with the fact that I am calling the keepItGoing sub routine in side the chat sub routine, but I am not sure how else to get it to "idle" otherwise. If anyone could offer any sort of insight on this that would be awesome.

I should probably also mention that I have been testing this by running the script once then stopping it then sending 3 offline messages then running the script again.
