XChat allows Perl scripting too

I have used xchat some years ago. Although it's the nicest GUI client I've ever seen, I like irssi better. And besides, it's quite hard to keep a graphical client running remotely if your own connection is unstable. It'd probably require Xvnc, but X is too heavy for this purpose (and this particular machine...).

My irssi based bot uses DBI (for pulling user information from Cu2, a reasonably large Dutch website) too, and keeps track of karma (heh, could we live without?). It also acts as a calculator and provides train schedule information. The old version was a bunch of elsifs, now I can extend it very easily. 

- Yes, I reinvent wheels.
