Bot::Net::Mixin::Server::IRC - mixin class for building IRC servers

  # Build a basic, no-frills IRC server 
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  package MyBotNet::Server::Main;

  use Bot::Net::Server;
  use Bot::Net::Mixin::Server::IRC;

This is the mixin-class for Bot::Net IRC servers. By using this class you create an IRC daemon:

  use Bot::Net::Server;             # define common Bot::Net server features
  use Bot::Net::Mixin::Server::IRC; # we're an IRC server

Setup a new IRC server.

Returns a base configuration for an IRC server daemon.

At startup, this hanlder loads the information stored in the configuration file and configures the IRC daemon.

Called by on _start to configure the authentication masks. This reads the "masks" section of the configuration and makes it so that only the users found in that configuration may successfully login.

See add_auth in POE::Component::Server::IRC.

This is called by on _start and reads the "operators" setting from the configuration file. That configuration will be used to grant logging users server op status.

See add_operator in POE::Component::Server::IRC.

This event handler initializes a listening port for each entry in the "listeners" setting of the configuration file. This is called by on _start. For each listener initialized, it also reports a READY status message to the logs.

See add_listener in POE::Component::Server::IRC.

Run by on _start, this handler intiates peer connections between IRC servers to create the IRC network. This will either notify the server that it should be anticipating an incoming connection from a peer or cause it to initiate a connection.

See add_peer in POE::Component::Server::IRC.

This causes the IRC daemon to close all connections and stop listening.
