I'm trying to add scripts to expand functionality of the perlbot. A seen system using a mysql database and other similar things.
However I am struggling to interpret how to code them. I am new to perl, I admit, so wading through the lines of code to find out snippets of info is proving time consuming.
I am prepared to put some documentation together myself, but I can't do it until I know what is going on.
I know the you can get various bits of info out of $event->, but what they all are I do not know. I also know there are the various event types listed in Perlbotcore.pm but I don't know how to use them.
Is there an IRC channel that most of the coders hang out in? Which network, what channel

Get the CVS perlbot, plugins are MUCH MUCH easier to develop, and there is pretty good documentation on it.
