Anyone out there familiar with Net::IRC and familiar know your away around IRC/MIRC? My question is, I want my bot to do a specific action when the bot is slapped (ie: /me slaps Wizard). I'm sure my regex is fine but I think the reason it's not reading in the action is because it's not being read as "on_public" text..

Everything else in the on_public is working, just not the actions. 

sub on_public 
{

   my ($conn, $event) = @_;
   my $nick = $event->{nick};

   . . .
   elsif ($text =~ m/slaps Wizard/i)
   {
      $conn->privmsg($conn->{channel}, "Hey, don't slap me!");
   }

   . . .
}

I tried looking on Google but it doesn't say anything about reading user actions. Any ideas?
