Before we get into the problem one sugesstion for you when posting code, you need to wrap them in <code> your code here </code> for it to stand out in your post. This will help you convey your thoughts effectively in the forum. Also see the Writeup Formatting Tips for help on better presentation of your writeups.

As for your perl question, I havent used the module and I was suggesting CPAN should help you out. Wait for other monks who have actually used that module for specific help. But some googling of the problem or the anonymous part should get you closer to some working code.

Did you actually start listening to the events using the infinite loop after connecting to the server. 

 $irc->start;

If you have problems even before connecting to the server, there might be something else that iam not seeing.

all the best
