NAME¶
AnyEvent::IRC - An event based IRC protocol client API
VERSION¶
Version 0.97
SYNOPSIS¶
Using the simplistic AnyEvent::IRC::Connection:
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::IRC::Connection;
my $c = AnyEvent->condvar;
my $con = new AnyEvent::IRC::Connection;
$con->connect ("localhost", 6667);
$con->reg_cb (
connect => sub {
my ($con) = @_;
$con->send_msg (NICK => 'testbot');
$con->send_msg (USER => 'testbot', '*', '0', 'testbot');
},
irc_001 => sub {
my ($con) = @_;
print "$_[1]->{prefix} says I'm in the IRC: $_[1]->{params}->[-1]!\n";
$c->broadcast;
}
);
$c->wait;
Using the more sophisticated AnyEvent::IRC::Client:
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::IRC::Client;
my $c = AnyEvent->condvar;
my $timer;
my $con = new AnyEvent::IRC::Client;
$con->reg_cb (registered => sub { print "I'm in!\n"; });
$con->reg_cb (disconnect => sub { print "I'm out!\n"; $c->broadcast });
$con->reg_cb (
sent => sub {
my ($con) = @_;
if ($_[2] eq 'PRIVMSG') {
print "Sent message!\n";
$timer = AnyEvent->timer (
after => 1,
cb => sub {
undef $timer;
$con->disconnect ('done')
}
);
}
}
);
$con->send_srv (
PRIVMSG => 'elmex',
"Hello there I'm the cool AnyEvent::IRC test script!"
);
$con->connect ("localhost", 6667, { nick => 'testbot' });
$c->wait;
$con->disconnect;
DESCRIPTION¶
The AnyEvent::IRC module consists of AnyEvent::IRC::Connection,
AnyEvent::IRC::Client and AnyEvent::IRC::Util. AnyEvent::IRC is just a module
that holds this overview over the other modules.
AnyEvent::IRC can be viewed as toolbox for handling IRC connections and
communications. It won't do everything for you, and you still need to know a
few details of the IRC protocol.
AnyEvent::IRC::Client is a more highlevel IRC connection that already processes
some messages for you and will generated some events that are maybe useful to
you. It will also do PING replies for you, manage channels a bit, nicknames
and CTCP.
AnyEvent::IRC::Connection is a lowlevel connection that only connects to the
server and will let you send and receive IRC messages.
AnyEvent::IRC::Connection does not imply any client behaviour, you could also
use it to implement an IRC server.
Note that these modules use AnyEvent as it's IO event subsystem. You can
integrate them into any application with a event system that AnyEvent has
support for (eg. Gtk2 or Event).
