NAME

POE::Component::IRC::Common - provides a set of common functions for the POE::Component::IRC suite.

SYNOPSIS

  use strict;
  use warnings;
 
  use POE::Component::IRC::Common qw( :ALL );
 
  my $nickname = '^Lame|BOT[moo]';
  my $uppercase_nick = u_irc( $nickname );
  my $lowercase_nick = l_irc( $nickname );
 
  my $mode_line = 'ov+b-i Bob sue stalin*!*@*';
  my $hashref = parse_mode_line( $mode_line );
 
  my $banmask = 'stalin*';
  my $full_banmask = parse_ban_mask( $banmask );
 
  if ( matches_mask( $full_banmask, 'stalin!joe@kremlin.ru' ) ) {
      print "EEK!";
  }
   
  if ( has_color($message) ) {
     print 'COLOR CODE ALERT!";
  }
 
  my $results_hashref = matches_mask_array( \@masks, \@items_to_match_against );
 
  my $nick = parse_user( 'stalin!joe@kremlin.ru' );
  my ($nick, $user, $host) = parse_user( 'stalin!joe@kremlin.ru' );
 
 

DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Common provides a set of common functions for the POE::Component::IRC suite. There are included functions for uppercase and lowercase nicknames/channelnames and for parsing mode lines and ban masks.

CONSTANTS

Use the following constants to add formatting and mIRC color codes to IRC messages.

Normal text:

  NORMAL
 
 

Formatting:

  BOLD
  UNDERLINE
  REVERSE
  ITALIC
  FIXED
 
 

Colors:

  WHITE
  BLACK
  DARK_BLUE
  DARK_GREEN
  RED
  BROWN
  PURPLE
  ORANGE
  YELLOW
  LIGHT_GREEN
  TEAL
  CYAN
  LIGHT_BLUE
  MAGENTA
  DARK_GREY
  LIGHT_GREY
 
 

Individual formatting codes can be cancelled with their corresponding constant, but you can also cancel all of them at once with "NORMAL". To cancel the effect of previous color codes, you must use "NORMAL". which of course has the side effect of cancelling the effect of all previous formatting codes as well.

  $irc->yield('This word is ' . YELLOW . 'yellow' . NORMAL
      . ' while this word is ' . BOLD . 'bold' . BOLD);
 
  $irc->yield(UNDERLINE . BOLD . 'This sentence is both underlined and bold.'
      . NORMAL);
 
 

FUNCTIONS

"u_irc"
Takes one mandatory parameter, a string to convert to IRC uppercase, and one optional parameter, the casemapping of the ircd ( which can be 'rfc1459', 'strict-rfc1459' or 'ascii'. Default is 'rfc1459' ). Returns the IRC uppercase equivalent of the passed string.
"l_irc"
Takes one mandatory parameter, a string to convert to IRC lowercase, and one optional parameter, the casemapping of the ircd ( which can be 'rfc1459', 'strict-rfc1459' or 'ascii'. Default is 'rfc1459' ). Returns the IRC lowercase equivalent of the passed string.
"parse_mode_line"
Takes a list representing an IRC mode line. Returns a hashref. If the modeline couldn't be parsed the hashref will be empty. On success the following keys will be available in the hashref:
  'modes', an arrayref of normalised modes;
  'args', an arrayref of applicable arguments to the modes;
 
 

Example:

  my $hashref = parse_mode_line( 'ov+b-i', 'Bob', 'sue', 'stalin*!*@*' );
 
  # $hashref will be:
  {
     modes => [ '+o', '+v', '+b', '-i' ],
     args  => [ 'Bob', 'sue', 'stalin*!*@*' ],
  }
 
 
"parse_ban_mask"
Takes one parameter, a string representing an IRC ban mask. Returns a normalised full banmask.

Example:

  $fullbanmask = parse_ban_mask( 'stalin*' );
 
  # $fullbanmask will be: 'stalin*!*@*';
 
 
"matches_mask"
Takes two parameters, a string representing an IRC mask ( it'll be processed with parse_ban_mask() to ensure that it is normalised ) and something to match against the IRC mask, such as a nick!user@hostname string. Returns a true value if they match, a false value otherwise. Optionally, one may pass the casemapping ( see u_irc() ), as this function uses u_irc() internally.
"matches_mask_array"
Takes two array references, the first being a list of strings representing IRC mask, the second a list of somethings to test against the masks. Returns an empty hashref if there are no matches. Matches are returned are arrayrefs keyed on the mask that they matched.
"parse_user"
Takes one parameter, a string representing a user in the form nick!user@hostname. In a scalar context it returns just the nickname. In a list context it returns a list consisting of the nick, user and hostname, respectively.
"has_color"
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns 1 if it contains any IRC color codes, 0 otherwise. Useful if you want your bot to kick users for (ab)using colors. :)
"has_formatting"
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns 1 if it contains any IRC formatting codes, 0 otherwise.
"strip_color"
Takes one paramter, a string of IRC text. Returns the string stripped of all IRC color codes. Due to the fact that both color and formatting codes can be cancelled with the same character, this might strip more than you hoped for if the string contains both color and formatting codes. Stripping both will always do what you expect it to.
"strip_formatting"
Takes one paramter, a string of IRC text. Returns the string stripped of all IRC formatting codes. Due to the fact that both color and formatting codes can be cancelled with the same character, this might strip more than you hoped for if the string contains both color and formatting codes. Stripping both will always do what you expect it to.
"irc_ip_get_version"
Try to guess the IP version of an IP address.

Params: IP address Returns: 4, 6, 0(unable to determine)

"$version = ip_get_version ($ip)"

"irc_ip_is_ipv4"
Check if an IP address is of type 4.

Params: IP address Returns: 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

"ip_is_ipv4($ip) and print "$ip is IPv4";"

"irc_ip_is_ipv6"
Check if an IP address is of type 6.

Params: IP address Returns: 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

  ip_is_ipv6($ip) && print "$ip is IPv6";
