DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CoreList is a port of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::CoreList to the POE::Component::IRC plugin framework. It is a frontend to the excellent Module::CoreList module which will let you know what modules shipped with which versions of perl, over IRC.

CONSTRUCTOR

"new"

Creates a new plugin object. Takes some optional parameter:

          'command', define a command that will proceed subcommands;
          'privmsg', set to a true value to specify that the bot should reply with PRIVMSG instead of 
                     NOTICE to privmsgs that it receives.

IRC USAGE

The bot replies to requests in the following form:

<optional_command> <subcommand> [args]

Commands
The bot understand the following subcommands:

• "release"
• "date"

            < you> bot: release Test::More
            < bot> you: Test::More was first released with perl 5.7.3 (patchlevel perl/15039, released on 2002-03-05)

        If no command is given, "release" is the default.

            < you> bot: Test::More
            < bot> you: Test::More was first released with perl 5.7.3 (patchlevel perl/15039, released on 2002-03-05)

• "search"
• "find"

            < you> bot search Data
            < bot> Found Data::Dumper, Module::Build::ConfigData

        Perl version numbers can be passed as optional parameters to
        restrict the search:

            < you> bot: search Data 5.006
            < bot> Found Data::Dumper in perl 5.006

        The search never returns more than 9 replies, to avoid flooding the
        channel:

            < you> bot: find e
            < bot> Found AnyDBM_File, AutoLoader, B::Assembler, B::Bytecode, B::Debug, B::Deparse, B::Disassembler, B::Showlex, B::Terse, ...
