As such, it has not been tested on other networks. Some IRC features, such as NickServ auto-join, may need adjusting. -------------------------- The first thing you'll want to do is edit pbot.pl and change the default settings: * If you did not extract/checkout PBot into ~/pbot (where ~/pbot/PBot contains the PBot.pm module), you'll want to change $pbothome in pbot.pl to point to the directory that contains the PBot, config, data, etc directories. * 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 several modules from CPAN. If you do not have root access, see http://perl.jonallen.info/writing/articles/install-perl-modules-without-root AppConfig::Std Data::Dumper Getopt::Std HTML::Entities HTML::FormatText HTML::Parse IPC::Open2 LWP::Simple LWP::UserAgent LWP::UserAgent::WithCache Net::Dict SOAP::Lite Text::Autoformat Text::Balanced URI::Escape WWW::Wikipedia XML::RSS -------------------------- Some quick-and-dirty info on using stdin (pbot shell after running pbot.sh): You can type in the bot's stdin to talk in channels as the bot, e.g. by typing 'msg #pbot2 hi' from the bot's stdin. You can send bot commands to channel by using: ~channel command For instance, the kick command must be run in a channel: ~#pbot2 kick somenick Example reason The bot may be backgrounded via ^Z. -------------------------- Coming soon to README: * Description of each PBot module, for dev customisation. -------------------------- Todo: * Add SSL and port options to pbot.pl. * Use DualIndexHashObject as base for a Registry class?
