POE::Component::IRC::Qnet is an extension to POE::Component::IRC specifically for use on Quakenet <http://www.quakenet.org/>. See the documentation for POE::Component::IRC for general usage. This document covers the extensions.

The module provides a number of additional commands for communicating with the Quakenet service bot Q.

The component will query Q its default name on Quakenet. If you wish to override these settings, use this method to configure them.

 $irc->service_bots(QBOT => 'W@blah.network.net');

In most cases you shouldn't need to mess with these >;o)

The Quakenet service bots accept input as PRIVMSG. This module provides a wrapper around the POE::Component::IRC "privmsg" command.

Send commands to the Q bot. Pass additional command parameters as arguments to the event.

 $kernel->post ('my client' => qbot_auth => $q_user => $q_pass);

All output from the Quakenet service bots is sent as NOTICEs. Use "irc_notice" to trap these.

Has all the same hash keys in "ARG1" as POE::Component::IRC, with the addition of 'account', which contains the name of their Q auth account, if they have authed, or a false value if they haven't.

A few have turned up in the past and they are sure to again. Please use <http://rt.cpan.org/> to report any. Alternatively, email the current maintainer.
