nathanvit has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,
i'm trying to write a IRC BOT with POE::Component::IRC.
My BOT is nice but there are too much code lines.
So i thought to make a little module but i haven't enought experience to do it.
I'm interested to create a module which inherit functions from POE::Component::IRC and create other functions for me.
I read PerlMonks' module writing tutorial but it doesn't explain how to do it. Have you any document or URL to suggest?

    look at the IRC::Bot module. this has been done many times before. also, take a look at Perl IRC Bot Skeleton (although it uses Net::IRC instead of POE.)

    If you don't mind using external products, you could try the well-polished chat bot offered by Alice Foundation. You need to learn AIML (a markup language) in order to customize the chatbot's personality.
