Then you'll need to get Net::IRC from CPAN. If you do not have root access, see
http://perl.jonallen.info/writing/articles/install-perl-modules-without-root
More information coming soon. Work in progress.
After installing Net::IRC, you'll need to edit Net::IRC's Connection.pm module to prevent it
from disconnecting IRC when a module completes after forking:
/lib/perl5/site-perl/Net/IRC/Connection.pm around line 405 has a sub DESTROY where I inserted a return; in the first line,
otherwise it would disconnect from IRC after a module exits:
/lib/perl5/site-perl/Net/IRC/Connection.pm around line 405 has a sub DESTROY:

Todo:
Add SSL and port options.

Some quick-and-dirty info on using stdin (pbot shell after running pbot.sh):
04:33:09 < pragma_> you can type in the bot's stdin to talk in channels as the bot
04:33:39 < candide> hi
04:33:50 < pragma_> that was typing 'msg #pbot2 hi'
04:33:50 < pragma_> that was typing 'msg #pbot2 hi' from the bot's stdin
04:34:15 < pragma_> you can send bot commands to channel by using ~channel command
04:34:56 < pragma_> no, it was ~channel command
04:35:11 < pragma_> like ~channel kick <args>
04:35:18 < pragma_> because kick has to be used in a channel
04:35:29 < pragma_> I'll have to document that
04:36:09 < pragma_> that's from stdin only though
04:36:20 < pragma_> and you can still background it with ^Z
