I'm writing an IRC bot (a useful one not an annoying one) using the Net::IRC module (version 0.75). I've been through the docs and the source code and I can't seem to get the module to notify me of changes in the client's mode (whether from myself or someone else). Here's the code I have right now: 
sub on_umode {
  my ($self, $event) = @_;

  print "got umode\n";
#  print "umode args = " . $event->args . "\n";
}
...
$conn->add_handler('umode',   \&on_umode);

This handler never gets called. This is the only handler I'm having trouble with. I tried having the client change it's own mode and having my normal IRC user change its mode, and I get absolutely nothing. That function is never called. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
