Bot::BasicBot Description

Bot::BasicBot is a Perl module that contains a simple IRC bot baseclass. SYNOPSIS # with all defaults my $bot = Bot::BasicBot->new( channels => ); $bot->run(); # with all known options my $bot = Bot::BasicBot->new( server => "irc.example.com", port => "6667", channels => , nick => "basicbot", alt_nicks => , username => "bot", name => "Yet Another Bot", ignore_list => , charset => "utf-8", # charset the bot assumes the channel is using ); $bot->run();Basic bot system designed to make it easy to do simple bots, optionally forking longer processes (like searches) concurrently in the background.There are several examples of bots using Bot::BasicBot in the examples/ folder in the Bot::BasicBot tarball. If you installed Bot::BasicBot through CPAN, see http://jerakeen.org/programming/Bot-BasicBot for more docs and examples.A quick summary, though - You want to define your own package that subclasses Bot::BasicBot, override various methods (documented below), then call new() and run() on it.STARTING THE BOTnew( key => value, .. )Creates a new instance of the class. Name value pairs may be passed which will have the same effect as calling the method of that name with the value supplied. Returns a Bot::BasicBot object, that you can call 'run' on later.eg: my $bot = Bot::BasicBot->new( nick => 'superbot', channels => );run()Runs the bot. Hands the control over to the POE core.
