PBot requires Perl 5.10, especially for !cc
--------------------------
PBot is intended for the Freenode IRC network. As such, it has not been
tested on other networks. Some IRC features, such as quieting, may need adjusting.
--------------------------
The first thing you'll want to do is edit pbot.pl and change the default
settings:

* Change the IRC settings in pbot.pl so that the bot-nick and identify password are
associated with a registered NickServ account, if you want channel auto-join to succeed.
--------------------------
Then you'll need to get Net::IRC from CPAN. If you do not have root access, see
Then you'll need to get several modules from CPAN. If you do not have root access, see
http://perl.jonallen.info/writing/articles/install-perl-modules-without-root
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; insert a return; statement
at line 407:
404 # Standard destructor method for the GC routines. (HAHAHAH! DIE! DIE! DIE!)
405 sub DESTROY {
406 my $self = shift;
407 return; ## <--- added to prevent disconnecting after forking exits ##
408 $self->handler("destroy", "nobody will ever use this");
409 $self->quit();
410 # anything else?
411 }
--------------------------
In addition to Net::IRC, PBot and several pbot-modules also use the following built-in and CPAN modules:
use AppConfig::Std;
use Data::Dumper;
use Getopt::Std;
use HTML::Entities;
use HTML::FormatText;
use HTML::Parse;
use IPC::Open2;
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent
use LWP::UserAgent::WithCache;
use Net::Dict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use Text::Autoformat;
use Text::Balanced;
use URI::Escape;
use WWW::Wikipedia;
use XML::RSS;

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' from the bot's stdin
04:34:15 < pragma_> you can send bot commands to channel by using ~channel command
04:35:11 < pragma_> like ~channel kick <args>
04:35:18 < pragma_> because kick has to be used in a channel
04:36:20 < pragma_> and you can still background the bot with ^Z
