my code is:
....
my $conn = $irc->newconn(
Server => '$server',
Port => shift || '6667',
Nick => 'sickbot',
Ircname => 'bot',
Username => 'bot'
)
or die "Can't connect to IRC server.\n";
...

this give error:
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 373.
Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 373.

this worl fine if i change Server => 'irc.quakenet.org',

what's wrong?

perl code:
-------------------------------
$t='test';
print $t; print "\n";
print "$t"; print "\n";
print '$t'; print "\n";
</pre>
-------------------------------

result:
-------------------------------
test
test
$t
---------------

--> use "$server" instead of '$server' in line 2 ( unless your server is named $server.mydomain.org :-)

i try that but i get same error...then i find spaces at first on string (and install newest net::irc)
now all works fine
