in thread IRC Client not Joining Channel

Wow thanks for all the replies.
The program I wrote still will enter the room if the slash is removed (but it will not say that) but it seems like the Helper is not working correctly. With all these problems I decided to go with the suggested Parse::IRC module to make this a little easier. Right now I'm just trying to get it to connect in a GTK2 environment and print out text in the terminal but I cant get it to do that. I think the problem is in the incoming_data sub or near there. any ideas?

    I recommend cutting out all the extra code next time, it is very distracting from the actual problem. So here is the code that you say appears to be bad 
    #-------------------Watch for IRC Inputs-------------------
sub incoming_data {
    my ( $fd, $condition, $fh ) = @_;
    
    print "its going\n";

        my $input;
        sysread $fh, $input, 1000000;
        #chop $input;
        
        $input =~ s/\r\n//g;
    my $hashref = $parser->parse( $input );
    SWITCH: {
          my $type = lc $hashref->{command};

    First, I recommend changing: 
            sysread $fh, $input, 1000000;
        #chop $input;
        
        $input =~ s/\r\n//g;

    to: 
        $input = <$fh>;
    chomp $input;

    You can put a loop in there if you want to handle more than one line at a time. What you are doing mushes everything together and makes it unparseable.

      It seems that the Gtk2::Helper is not running after the connection is made. The print in incoming_data "im going" does not appear so it seems like the Helper is not working. 
      sub connecting {
