DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::BotAddressed is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. It watches for public channel traffic (i.e. "irc_public" and "irc_ctcp_action") and will generate an "irc_bot_addressed", "irc_bot_mentioned" or "irc_bot_mentioned_action" event if its name comes up in channel discussion.

METHODS

"new"

One optional argument:

'eat', set to true to make the plugin eat the "irc_public" / "irc_ctcp_action" event and only generate an appropriate event, default is false.

Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's "plugin_add" method.
