Library Specifics

IRCNOW::Database

A library for managing IRCNOW database connections and tables. It provides some useful generic functions for accessing and doing common tasks with database tables.

IRCNOW::ParseLog

A library and base class for log parsers. It is aware of and provides access methods for the database but I intend for it to also be useful just as a parsing engine of the raw log files. Its currently dependent on IRCNOW::Database but plan to make it optional at some point.

IRCNOW::IO

A library to provide some basic IO functions. It contains file read/write functions from botnow and the debug() log output functions and constants from botnow. Each can be selectively loaded into your program via the following export tags:

use IRCNOW::IO qw(:DEBUG);

Subs: debug() Constants: NONE INFO ERRORS WARNINGS ALL Variable: $verbosity

use IRCNOW::IO qw(:FILEIO);

Subs: readarray(), readstr(), writefile(), appendfile()
