Overview

POE::Filter::IRCD provides a convenient way of parsing and creating IRC protocol lines. It provides the parsing engine for POE::Component::Server::IRC and POE::Component::IRC. A standalone version exists as Parse::IRC.

Constructor

"new"

Creates a new POE::Filter::IRCD object. Takes two optional arguments:

  'debug', which will print all lines received to STDERR;
  'colonify', set to 1 to force the filter to always colonify the last param passed in a put(),
              default is 0. See below for more detail.

Methods

"get_one_start"

"get_one"

"get_pending"

"get"

Takes an arrayref which is contains lines of IRC formatted input. Returns an arrayref of hashrefs which represents the lines. The hashref contains the following fields:

  prefix
  command
  params ( this is an arrayref )
  raw_line

For example, if the filter receives the following line, the following hashref is produced:

  LINE: ':moo.server.net 001 lamebot :Welcome to the IRC network lamebot'
  HASHREF: {
                prefix   => ':moo.server.net',
                command  => '001',
                params   => [ 'lamebot', 'Welcome to the IRC network lamebot' ],
                raw_line => ':moo.server.net 001 lamebot :Welcome to the IRC network lamebot',
           }

"put"

Takes an arrayref containing hashrefs of IRC data and returns an arrayref containing IRC formatted lines. Optionally, one can specify 'colonify' to override the global colonification option. eg.

  $hashref = {
                command => 'PRIVMSG',
                prefix => '[email protected]',
                params => [ '#foobar', 'boo!' ],
                colonify => 1, # Override the global colonify option for this record only.
              };
  $filter->put( [ $hashref ] );

"clone"

Makes a copy of the filter, and clears the copy's buffer.

"debug"

With a true or false argument, enables or disables debug output respectively. Without an argument the behaviour is to toggle the debug status.
