# Create and load our NickReclaim plugin, before we connect

DESCRIPTION¶
POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickReclaim - A POE::Component::IRC plugin
automagically deals with your bot's nickname being in use and reclaims it when
it becomes available again.
It registers and handles 'irc_433' events. On receiving a 433 event it will
reset the nickname to the 'nick' specified with "spawn" or
"connect", appendedwith an underscore, and then poll to try and
change it to the original nickname. If someone in your channel who has the
nickname you're after quits or changes nickname, the plugin will try to
reclaim it immediately.
METHODS¶
"new"¶
Takes one optional argument:
'poll', the number of seconds between nick change attempts, default is
30;
Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's
"plugin_add" method.
