Re: Preventing disconnections of an IRC Bot made with Net::IRC

Unless the IRC server sends a 'disconnect' command (if that is even in the IRC protocol), on_disconnect is not gonna get called.

In perl, a socket is just a filehandle, and you use fileno and eof to test if its open.

So, if I've understood you correctly I should use: `if (eof($irc)) { &on_disconnect; }` [download] or `if (!fileno($irc)) { &on_disconnect; }` [download] Is that correct? my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");	[reply] [d/l] [select]
