DESCRIPTION

    POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CoreList is a port of
    Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::CoreList to the POE::Component::IRC
    plugin framework. It is a frontend to the excellent Module::CoreList
    module which will let you know what modules shipped with which versions
    of perl, over IRC.

CONSTRUCTOR

    new

      Creates a new plugin object. Takes some optional parameter:

        'command', define a command that will proceed subcommands;
        'privmsg', set to a true value to specify that the bot should reply with PRIVMSG instead of 
                   NOTICE to privmsgs that it receives.

IRC USAGE

    The bot replies to requests in the following form:

        <optional_command> <subcommand> [args]

 Commands

    The bot understand the following subcommands:

      * release

      * date

          < you> bot: release Test::More
          < bot> you: Test::More was first released with perl 5.7.3 (patchlevel perl/15039, released on 2002-03-05)

      If no command is given, release is the default.

          < you> bot: Test::More
          < bot> you: Test::More was first released with perl 5.7.3 (patchlevel perl/15039, released on 2002-03-05)

      * search

      * find

          < you> bot search Data
          < bot> Found Data::Dumper, Module::Build::ConfigData

      Perl version numbers can be passed as optional parameters to restrict
      the search:

          < you> bot: search Data 5.006
          < bot> Found Data::Dumper in perl 5.006

      The search never returns more than 9 replies, to avoid flooding the
      channel:

          < you> bot: find e
          < bot> Found AnyDBM_File, AutoLoader, B::Assembler, B::Bytecode, B::Debug, B::Deparse, B::Disassembler, B::Showlex, B::Terse, ...
