More information coming soon. Work in progress. -------------------------- See also: http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Candide -------------------------- 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 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 Net::IRC 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): < pragma_> you can type in the bot's stdin to talk in channels as the bot < candide> hi < pragma_> that was typing 'msg #pbot2 hi' from the bot's stdin < pragma_> you can send bot commands to channel by using ~channel command < pragma_> like ~channel kick <args> < pragma_> because kick has to be used in a channel < pragma_> and you can still background the bot with ^Z -------------------------- Coming soon to README: * Description of each PBot module, for customisation. -------------------------- Todo: * Add SSL and port options to pbot.pl.
