=head1 NAME

Net::IRC::Connection - Object-oriented interface to a single IRC connection

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Hard hat area: This section under construction.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation is a subset of the main Net::IRC documentation. If
you haven't already, please "perldoc Net::IRC" before continuing.

Net::IRC::Connection defines a class whose instances are individual
connections to a single IRC server. Several Net::IRC::Connection objects may
be handled simultaneously by one Net::IRC object.

=head1 METHOD DESCRIPTIONS

This section is under construction, but hopefully will be finally written up
by the next release. Please see the C<irctest> script and the source for
details about this module.

=head1 AUTHORS

Conceived and initially developed by Greg Bacon E<lt>gbacon@adtran.comE<gt> and
Dennis Taylor E<lt>dennis@funkplanet.comE<gt>.

Ideas and large amounts of code donated by Nat "King" Torkington E<lt>gnat@frii.comE<gt>.

Currently being hacked on, hacked up, and worked over by the members of the
Net::IRC developers mailing list. For details, see
http://www.execpc.com/~corbeau/irc/list.html .
