Let me start by saying that I know I shouldn't be using Net::IRC since it is deprecated. So don't tell me to switch to POE. I am attempting to make a bot using Net::IRC to auto op certain users. This bot has be made an op in the channel. In it's on_join sub, it checks if the nick of the person joining matches a certain list (I know this isn't that secure). If it matches, it sends a private message to Chanserv telling it to op the user. Here is the command it is using to op the user: " $conn->privmsg("Chanserv", "OP $conn->{channel} $nick");". $conn->{channel} contains the channel name including the # at the beginning. $nick contains the nick of the user to be oped. Could someone either help me make this command work or suggest an alternate command to accomplish the same thing? And yes, I have read the documentation on cpan.
