in reply to Thread weirdness

Most likely, IRC in itself is a line based protocol and hence you need to append a newline to your string. Possibly you are Suffering From Buffering, and appending the newline would also help this. Also consider using one of the IRC modules for parsing and possibly even wrapping all your communications with the IRC server.

    Whoops, I updated my original post from 
    print $sock "PRIVMSG $channel :Thread Finished";

    to 
    print $sock "PRIVMSG $channel :Thread Finished\r\n";

    [download]
    i don't think that's the problem.
