DCC is a solved problem. Yes, several people have "examples or hints," and those reside in the source for Net::IRC, Bot::BasicBot, and POE::Component::IRC. The thing to do is to take a module you like and see how it implements the interface. Of course, the *best* thing is usually to just use the module, but sometimes there are good reasons not to. Just make sure to give credit where credit is due and respect the license of whatever source of inspiration you turn to.
