This is very very rough. It'll connect to the server and that's about it. I'm working on getting it to automatically join channels currently, but there's a TON of stuff left to do still. As such, it does work. This is a diff against SVN.

Do you have an account on SF directly? We could create a branch in SVN and work on the POE support there. There are others interested in helping out, but nobody else is currently working on it as far as I know.
Thanx!
This is Tim again (posting from my sourceforge account now). I finally got back to working on this. I forgot I made this originally and started over from scratch. I have a new version of the patch that will connect to a server (SSL supported), along with supporting the karma command at the very least. I haven't gotten it automatically joining channels, but /invite works and the bot will join a channel without errors.
I made a separate feature request (again, I forgot I posted this one 2 years ago) as #3470671. Should I post the new patch under that? Also, a new branch in SVN would be the most ideal way of working on this, so that I don't have to worry about everything being only on my machine.
Hi, Tim. irc.perl.org #poe is available to assist with POE::Component::IRC advice. For example, it has a plugins system that might help with joining channels: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin
There seem to be a lot of plugins http://search.cpan.org/search?query=POE%3A%3AComponent%3A%3AIRC%3A%3APlugin&mode=module
Thanks, I'll look into that. That might reduce the code a little too. The other thing I haven't figured out how to duplicate yet is the scheduling system. There's POE::Component::Schedule, but I don't know if it will work for what infobot does.
I guess it depends on how you want to schedule events. There's also http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?POE::Component::Cron and the general techniques outlined at http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Recurring_Alarms
I'm basically just wanting to duplicate whatever the current infobot is doing with all of the $conn->schedule calls.
Should I post this patch as it is currently? Do you want to make an SVN branch that I can work off of?
I committed first hunk of it. Here's what currently works:
- Connecting to servers
- Setting the master password
- Joining channels on the first connection
- Some of the commands (karma works, at least, as does setting factoids)
Here's what I know doesn't work:
- DCC (chat fails completely, haven't tried other modes)
- Some of the CTCP commands (normal ping works, ctcp ping doesn't)
- Joining channels after a disconnect/reconnect (gives me an error about a null channel)
Here's what I haven't tested:
- A lot of the infobot modules
- A lot of the CTCP stuff
- Channel settings (from the config file)
