Open Source Perl IRC Clients

See https://pidgin.im/about/ for more information. Pidgin is an instant messaging program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously. It runs on Windows, Linux, and other UNIX operating systems. Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box: AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, MXit, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, MySpaceIM, and Zephyr. It is written in C and makes heavy use of GLib and GTK+. Finch is a command line instant messaging program. It also lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat network simultaneously, and it is compatible with the same chat networks as Pidgin. It is written in C and makes heavy use of GLib and ncurses.

Eggdrop is the most advanced IRC robot available. It has been under development since December 1993, and unlike most other bots, it is still regularly updated.

Erwin is an IRC-bot in Perl, using POE, written with modularity and expandability in mind. Installing and configuring modules is very easy, compared to lots of other Perl bots where you have to read the source and add your own code in the various event loops. Adding additional functionality is as easy as writing a subroutine that returns something and configuring a regex to use that subroutine. By typing "!google keyword", for instance, "Google::Search" gets "keyword" as an argument, searches Google with that keyword and returns a couple of URLs. Further expandability can be achieved using "plug-ins". Plug-ins subclass "Erwin::Plugin", and can recieve and take control over various events. For example does the pastebin-plugin need the ability to take control over every line sent privately by some user, and e.g. a quiz module would need to get every single message sent to a channel while a quiz is going on.

DAVIS is an easy and useful language for IRC bots. This project contains our own bots, some bots for demonstration, a parser that creates Java, C, Perl and IRC-Script code out of a DAVIS file, and an interpreter for DAVIS files.
