Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::RD - RecDescent grammar adaptor plugin

  !load RD

See the synopsis of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable for how to load this plugin.

Many bots are concerned with responding to commands issued on IRC. The simple approach of regular expressions is used by many of the bot plugins. However, this module offers full syntax parsing via Parse::RecDescent.

Rather than each bot plugin doing its own parsing in an overridden said() routine, the approach used here is for a single grammar shared between the bot plugins. This module and namespace is the keeper of the grammar, and others can extend the grammar by adding rules to it.

The following simple commands are provided:

  say Hello channel
  tell ivorw I'm connected

See the documentation for Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module and Bot::BasicBot.

This is called by any pluggable modules in order to add rules to the bot's Parse::RecDescent grammar.

Please report any bugs to http://rt.cpan.org.
