This is not a patch per se. :B

I noticed that Infobot doesn't set the username when connecting to an IRC server even when ircUser is set in files/infobot.config. Adding

Username => $param{'ircUser'},

to %args in src/IRC/Irc.pl line 111 fixes this.

I run infobot attached multiple times to the same irc network as five different nicks. I think this patch will cause them all to look like the same nick on attach, correct?

They should each show up as their own nick.

implemented later on with $mynick. Does that work?

I think they would still use different nicks but the username would be the same. The problem with not specifying Username is that Net::IRC will connect using `whoami` as username, which is something I don't really want as my Unix username differs from my nick.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean in your message:

re-opening...

so you would want all the nicks to connect as the same Username? (if you were using multiple nicks)

Hmm, I'm not sure what would be appropriate in the case of multiple nicks as this is not my scenario.
