<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">So I <a href="https://github.com/dfwperl/dfwbot">wrote
an irc bot</a>, tested it out several times, and put it up on
github in all of 2 hours this afternoon. It's built on <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Bot::BasicBot">Bot::BasicBot</a>.
Bot::BasicBot is *gasp* built on <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/POE">POE</a>. <i><b>This bot
is neat and I think this would be very fun to extend.</b></i><br>
<br>
I would love play around with this concept together -- to use
git/github to clone, fork, and hack together our own individual
bots and try them out in real time together at the next
meeting. We could make them talk to each other, do spell
checks, wolfram alpha lookups, shorten URLs, fetch stock
performance stats, or any number of things.<br>
<br>
What do you think? Feel free to disagree.<br>
