DESCRIPTION

40       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::PlugMan is a POE::Component::IRC plugin
41       management plugin. It provides support for 'on-the-fly' loading,
42       reloading and unloading of plugin modules, via object methods that you
43       can incorporate into your own code and a handy IRC interface.
44

METHODS

46   "new"
47       Takes two optional arguments:
48
49       'botowner', an IRC mask to match against for people issuing commands
50       via the IRC interface;
51
52       'auth_sub', a sub reference which will be called to determine if a user
53       may issue commands via the IRC interface. Overrides 'botowner'. It will
54       be called with three arguments: the IRC component object, the
55       nick!user@host and the channel name as arguments. It should return a
56       true value if the user is authorized, a false one otherwise.
57
58       'debug', set to a true value to see when stuff goes wrong;
59
60       Not setting 'botowner' or 'auth_sub' effectively disables the IRC
61       interface.
62
63       If 'botowner' is specified the plugin checks that it is being loaded
64       into a POE::Component::IRC::State or sub-class and will fail to load
65       otherwise.
66
67       Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's
68       "plugin_add" method.
69
70   "load"
71       Loads a managed plugin.
72
73       Takes two mandatory arguments, a plugin descriptor and a plugin package
74       name.  Any other arguments are used as options to the loaded plugin
75       constructor.
76
77        $plugin->load( 'Connector', 'POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector', delay, 120 );
78
79       Returns true or false depending on whether the load was successfully or
80       not.
81
82   "unload"
83       Unloads a managed plugin.
84
85       Takes one mandatory argument, a plugin descriptor.
86
87        $plugin->unload( 'Connector' );
88
89       Returns true or false depending on whether the unload was successfully
90       or not.
91
92   "reload"
93       Unloads and loads a managed plugin, with applicable plugin options.
94
95       Takes one mandatory argument, a plugin descriptor.
96
97        $plugin->reload( 'Connector' );
98
99   "loaded"
100       Takes no arguments.
101
102        $plugin->loaded();
103
104       Returns a list of descriptors of managed plugins.
105

INPUT

107       An IRC interface is enabled by specifying a "botowner" mask to "new".
108       Commands may be either invoked via a PRIVMSG directly to your bot or in
109       a channel by prefixing the command with the nickname of your bot. One
110       caveat, the parsing of the irc command is very rudimentary (it merely
111       splits the line on spaces).
112
113   "plugin_add"
114       Takes the same arguments as "load".
115
116   "plugin_del"
117       Takes the same arguments as "unload".
118
119   "plugin_reload"
120       Takes the same arguments as "reload".
121
122   "plugin_loaded"
123       Returns a list of descriptors of managed plugins.
124
125   "plugin_list"
126       Returns a list of descriptors of *all* plugins loaded into the current
127       PoCo-IRC component.
