DESCRIPTION
POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. If you get disconnected, the plugin will join all the channels you were on the next time it gets connected to the IRC server. It can also rejoin a channel if the IRC component gets kicked from it. It keeps track of channel keys so it will be able to rejoin keyed channels in case of reconnects/kicks.If a POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID plugin has been added to the IRC component, then AutoJoin will wait for a reply from NickServ before joining channels on connect.
This plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof.
METHODS
new
Takes the following optional arguments:'Channels', either an array reference of channel names, or a hash reference keyed on channel name, containing the password for each channel. By default it uses the channels the component is already on if you are using POE::Component::IRC::State.
'RejoinOnKick', set this to 1 if you want the plugin to try to rejoin a channel (once) if you get kicked from it. Default is 0.
'Rejoin_delay', the time, in seconds, to wait before rejoining a channel after being kicked (if 'RejoinOnKick' is on). Default is 5.
'Retry_when_banned', if you can't join a channel due to a ban, set this to the number of seconds to wait between retries. Default is 0 (disabled).
'NickServ_delay', how long (in seconds) to wait for a reply from NickServ before joining channels. Default is 5.
Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's "plugin_add" method.
