Now that brings back memories! Years and years ago I remember logging in on bitnet relay chat and using REXX for my bots. Nowadays we use perl of course :)

Funny how we're able to run our own irc server nowadays!

Here's some quick code to log on an irc server. It doesn't do much, it just logs in into room1 and exits

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Socket;

my $line;
my $pong = "";
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new('localhost:6667');

print "nick whateverhack\n";
print $sock "nick whateverhack\r";

PING: while (<$sock>) {
    print "$_\r";
    if ( $_ =~ /^PING :(.*)\r$/ ) {
        $pong = $1; 
        last PING;
    }
}

print "PONG :$pong\n";
print $sock "pong :$pong\r";

print "user wcn ignored v8 :hack\n";
print $sock "user wcn ignored v8 :hack\r";

MOTD: while (<$sock>) {
    print "$_\r";
    last MOTD if ( $_ =~ / 376 / ) ;
}

print "join #room1\n";
print $sock "join #room1\r";

print "bye\n";
print $sock "bye\n";
