POE::Filter::IRCD(3)

NAME
POE::Filter::IRCD - A POE-based parser for the IRC protocol

VERSION
version 2.44

SYNOPSIS
    use POE::Filter::IRCD;

    my $filter = POE::Filter::IRCD->new( debug => 1, colonify => 0 );
    my $arrayref = $filter->get( [ $hashref ] );
    my $arrayref2 = $filter->put( $arrayref );

    use POE qw(Filter::Stackable Filter::Line Filter::IRCD);

    my ($filter) = POE::Filter::Stackable->new();
    $filter->push( POE::Filter::Line->new( InputRegexp => '\015?\012', OutputLiteral => "\015\012" ),
                   POE::Filter::IRCD->new(), );

DESCRIPTION
POE::Filter::IRCD provides a convenient way of parsing and creating IRC protocol lines. It provides the parsing engine for POE::Component::Server::IRC and POE::Component::IRC. A standalone version exists as Parse::IRC.

CONSTRUCTOR

"new"
    Creates a new POE::Filter::IRCD object. Takes two optional arguments:

      'debug', which will print all lines received to STDERR;
      'colonify', set to 1 to force the filter to always colonify the last param passed in a put(),
                  default is 0. See below for more detail.

METHODS

"get_one_start"
"get_one"
"get_pending"
"get"
    Takes an arrayref which is contains lines of IRC formatted input. Returns an arrayref of hashrefs which represents the lines. The hashref contains the following fields:

      prefix
      command
      params ( this is an arrayref )
      raw_line

    For example, if the filter receives the following line, the following hashref is produced:

      LINE: ':moo.server.net 001 lamebot :Welcome to the IRC network lamebot'

      HASHREF: {
                    prefix   => ':moo.server.net',
                    command  => '001',
                    params   => [ 'lamebot', 'Welcome to the IRC network lamebot' ],
                    raw_line => ':moo.server.net 001 lamebot :Welcome to the IRC network lamebot',
               }

"put"
    Takes an arrayref containing hashrefs of IRC data and returns an arrayref containing IRC formatted lines. Optionally, one can specify 'colonify' to override the global colonification option. eg.

      $hashref = {
                    command => 'PRIVMSG',
                    prefix => 'FooBar!foobar@foobar.com',
                    params => [ '#foobar', 'boo!' ],
                    colonify => 1, # Override the global colonify option for this record only.
                  };

      $filter->put( [ $hashref ] );

"clone"
    Makes a copy of the filter, and clears the copy's buffer.

"debug"
    With a true or false argument, enables or disables debug output respectively. Without an argument the behaviour is to toggle the debug status.
