An IRCd is not just for Christmas ...
So I finally got around to giving POE::Component::Server::IRC a production release
It has been skulking around on CPAN as a development release for a month without much complaint so I thought it was time to thrust it out into the open >;)
POE::Component::Server::IRC is a complete IRC server implementation in Perl using POE and is the result of reverse engineering Hybrid IRCd and consultation with the pertinent RFCs (where applicable).
So, why write a perl ircd? What was wrong with pircd ?
Well
Some things you might want to do with it:
- Run an irc server, duh >:)
- Run an irc network
- Run an irc server or irc network for testing one's poco-irc bots.
- Write an irc service
- Write a gateway between IRC and someother chat service, such as Chatterbox or Instant Messaging
As they say, "The possibilities are endless"
