in thread Perl chat server?

Why not just use, and extend, existing bots written in perl or write your own using a framework like Net::IRC ? I use Net::IRC to power a bot I wrote. Its a verry nice event driven framework for connecting to IRC and handles all of the IRC commands for you.

I know some pepole that really like perlbot: http://perlbot.sourceforge.net Tho I haven't used it it looks to be a very nice project..

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking at Net::IRC bots, but in my case I cannot afford to miss a single post, so I won't be able to say for sure until I test. Am also worried in general about security/administration of IRC and hardware resources needed.. so am looking for how others have done large scale systems (even slash or a normal bbs) not just IRC which has more features than I need or want.

    Will check out perlbot and the other links below. --Matt
