POE::Component::IRC::PUsernContributePOE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector(3)NAMEPOE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector - A PoCo-IRC plugin that deals
with the messy business of staying connected to an IRC server
SYNOPSIS
use POE qw(Component::IRC Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector);
my $irc = POE::Component::IRC->spawn();
POE::Session->create(
package_states => [
main => [ qw(_start lag_o_meter) ],
],
);
$poe_kernel->run();
sub _start {
my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL ,HEAP];
$irc->yield( register => 'all' );
$heap->{connector} = POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector->new();
$irc->plugin_add( 'Connector' => $heap->{connector} );
$irc->yield ( connect => { Nick => 'testbot', Server => 'someserver.com' } );
$kernel->delay( 'lag_o_meter' => 60 );
return;
}
sub lag_o_meter {
my ($kernel,$heap) = @_[KERNEL,HEAP];
print 'Time: ' . time() . ' Lag: ' . $heap->{connector}->lag() . "\n";
$kernel->delay( 'lag_o_meter' => 60 );
return;
}
DESCRIPTIONPOE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector is a POE::Component::IRC plugin
that deals with making sure that your IRC bot stays connected to the
IRC network of your choice. It implements the general algorithm as
demonstrated at
<http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/IRC_Bot_Reconnecting>.
METHODS
"new"
Takes two optional arguments:
'delay', the frequency, in seconds, at which the plugin will ping the
IRC server. Defaults to 300.
'reconnect', the time in seconds, to wait before trying to reconnect to
the server. Defaults to 60.
'servers', an array reference of IRC servers to consider. Each element
should be an array reference containing a server host and (optionally)
a port number. The plugin will cycle through this list of servers
whenever it reconnects.
Returns a plugin object suitable for use in POE::Component::IRC's
"plugin_add" method.
"lag"
Returns the current 'lag' in seconds between sending PINGs to the IRC
server and getting PONG responses. Probably not likely to be wholely
accurate.
