Net::IRC3::Util 0.3

Net::IRC3::Util are common utilities that help with IRC protocol handling. SYNOPSIS use Net::IRC3 qw/parse_irc_msg mk_msg/; my $msgdata = mk_msg (undef, PRIVMSG FUNCTIONS These are some utility functions that might come in handy when handling the IRC protocol. You can export these with eg.: use Net::IRC3 qw/parse_irc_msg/; parse_irc_msg ($ircline) This method parses the $ircline, which is one line of the IRC protocol without the trailing " 15 12". It returns a hash which has the following entrys: prefix The message prefix. command The IRC command. params The parameters to the IRC command in a array reference, this includes the trailing parameter (the one after the : or the 14th parameter). trailing This is set if there was a trailing parameter (the one after the : or the 14th parameter). mk_msg ($prefix, $command, $trailing, @params) This function assembles a IRC message. The generated message will look like (pseudo code!) : : Please refer to RFC 2812 how IRC messages normally look like. The prefix and the trailing string will be omitted if they are undef. EXAMPLES: mk_msg (undef, "PRIVMSG", "you suck!", "magnus"); # will return: "PRIVMSG magnus :you suck! 15 12" mk_msg (undef, "JOIN", undef, "#test"); # will return: "JOIN #magnus 15 12" decode_ctcp ($ircmsg) or decode_ctcp ($line) split_prefix ($prefix) This function splits an IRC user prefix as described by RFC 2817 into the three parts: nickname, user and host. Which will be returned as a list with that order. $prefix can also be a hash like it is returned by parse_irc_msg. prefix_nick ($prefix) A shortcut to extract the nickname from the $prefix. $prefix can also be a hash like it is returned by parse_irc_msg. prefix_user ($prefix) A shortcut to extract the username from the $prefix. $prefix can also be a hash like it is returned by parse_irc_msg. prefix_host ($prefix) A shortcut to extract the hostname from the $prefix. $prefix can also be a hash like it is returned by parse_irc_msg..
