Hi,
I've got a simple IRC bot implemented with POE::Component::IRC and I
decided to add a SIGINT handler to it that gives a useful quit
message.
I couldn't get it to actually send a quit message from the handler,
so I then tried to make it issue a quit message anywhere at all. I
was also unsuccessful in this.
Looking around I found:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/2652671/1394607
Which has some sample code from Hinrik showing how to do such a
handler. Unfortunately this code also does not send a quit message.
It always quits with either no message ("Client Quit") or else
"Remote host closed the connection". That's the exact same problem I
was having.
I'm using the package libpoe-component-irc-perl version 6.78+dfsg-1
on Debian 6.0, but I also got the latest POE::Component::IRC from
CPAN and have the same issue.
So, is this a bug in POE::Component::IRC, or is Hinrik's code sample
there incorrect?
I did also find:
http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/POE-Component-IRC-6.79/lib/POE/Component/IRC/Cookbook/Disconnecting.pod
but was similarly unsuccessful with "shutdown".
Cheers,
Andy
