SYNOPSIS use strict; use warnings; use POE qw(Component::IRC Component::IRC::Plugin::CoreList); my $nickname = 'Core' . $$; my $ircname = 'CoreList Bot'; my $ircserver = 'irc.bleh.net'; my $port = 6667; my $channel = '#IRC.pm'; my $irc = POE::Component::IRC->spawn( nick => $nickname, server => $ircserver, port => $port, ircname => $ircname, debug => 0, plugin_debug => 1, options => { trace => 0 }, ) or die "Oh noooo! $!"; POE::Session->create( package_states => [ 'main' => [ qw(_start irc_001) ], ], ); $poe_kernel->run(); exit 0; sub _start { # Create and load our CoreList plugin $irc->plugin_add( 'CoreList' => POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CoreList->new( command => 'core' ) ); $irc->yield( register => 'all' ); $irc->yield( connect => { } ); undef; } sub irc_001 { $irc->yield( join => $channel ); undef; } DESCRIPTION POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CoreList is a port of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::CoreList to the POE::Component::IRC plugin framework.
