Hi,

I'm the author of POE::Component::Server::IRC, no please don't hit me >:o)

I'll give a little bit of background. I started coding POE::Component::Server::IRC nearly two years ago now, mainly after I realised that POE::Component::IRC::Service just wasn't going to do what I wanted it to do. The first fruits of that labour were version 0.3 which is on CPAN.

This version is okay, but it has a number of problems with it, mainly that it is a monolithic monster that doesn't lend itself to being extended, there was no server-to-server protocol support and it didn't have 'hooks' so one could write services.

So I released what I had as there was some interest in the POE community in what I had been working on.

Time passed, I had other stuff to do, mainly working on POE::Component::IRC.

I went back to the drawing board and redesigned POE::Component::Server::IRC from the ground-up. It's modular, extensible, has server-to-server protocol support (TSora5), hooks for writing IRC services and supports a plugin system that looks surprisingly like POE::Component::IRC's >:o)

The upshot of all this rambling is that version 0.99 of POE::Component::Server::IRC will be hitting CPAN in the next week or so (I am currently finishing off writing the documentation and testing against a four hybrid ircd network).

In the meantime if you want, you can harass me either via my listed CPAN email contact address or via IRC: I am on Quakenet, EFNet, Freenode and MAGnet.

CB <-> IRC has been much mooted and incidently was one of reasons I started the POE::Component::Server::IRC rewrite, after someone pointed out how shit version 0.3 was for doing this kind of thing.

Watch this space
