Something like this?

my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new('localhost:6669');

print "pass this_is_the_passwd\n";
print $sock "pass this_is_the_pw\r";

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

later on I always to stuff like this to parse messages people send (here p.e. all messages from hitty:

LOOP: while (<$sock>) {
    $line = $_; 
    if ( $line =~ / 366 / ) { 
    print "$line\r";
    }
    if ( $line =~ /PRIVMSG/ ) { 
        $line =~ /^:(.*)!(.*) PRIVMSG (.*) :(.*?)--(.*).$/;
    $from = $1;
    $room = $3;
    $cam = $4; if ($cam eq "") { next LOOP; }
    $comment = $5;
    if ( $cam =~ /hitty/ ) {
        print "<$from\@$cam> $comment\n"; 
    }
    }
}
