Hello guys and gals

I am currently working to develop a perl script for irssi that will capture data from irc channel hold it in memory as variable and send it to a shell. Does anyone know a good irssi irc scripting guide? something that will include $botname, $msg, $nick, $channel etc scripting explanation.

Is it possible to send a run program command to shell thats located in my /home/user/myapp using ./myapp from irssi? i am using bash.

I've only just started, so i dont have any code written yet, but surely with your help i can start and post results back for review


Any help will be much appreciated

Lucky there is a perl module just for IRC.

CPAN has 482 modules for IRC, I suggest you start using it.
