IRC::Indexer Description

IRC::Indexer is a set of Perl modules and utilities useful for trawling IRC networks, collecting information, and exporting it to portable formats for use in Web frontends and other applications.ircindexer-server-json serves as a real world example of how to use the trawler system to index IRC networks; it is usable as-is to trawl sets of IRC servers belonging to configured networks and serve JSON-serialized network stats via HTTP.ircindexer-server-json is fairly scalable; this could be used directly to build an IRC trawling/indexing Web application in a language of your choice, for example (or just grab data at intervals and spit out some graphs for a network or two, see examples/ in the distribution).ircindexer-single can be used to trawl a single server in one shot, exporting to YAML, JSON, or Perl. See the documentation or ircindexer-single -h for details.See the perldoc for IRC::Indexer::Trawl::Bot for more about using the trawl bot itself as part of other POE-enabled applications.The Trawl::Bot instances run asynchronously within a single process; IRC::Indexer::Trawl::Forking can be used to run Trawl::Bot instances as forked workers that immediately die when complete, if you prefer.See IRC::Indexer::POD::ServerSpec and IRC::Indexer::POD::NetworkSpec for details on exported data.SYNOPSIS ## Pull stats from a single server: $ ircindexer-single -s irc.cobaltirc.org -f JSON -o cobaltirc.json ## Generate some example confs: $ ircindexer-examplecf -t httpd -o httpd.cf $ $EDITOR httpd.cf $ mkdir networks/ $ cd networks/ $ mkdir cobaltirc $ ircindexer-examplecf -t spec -o cobaltirc/eris.oppresses.us.server $ $EDITOR cobaltirc/eris.oppresses.us.server . . . ## Spawn a httpd serving JSON: $ ircindexer-server-json -c httpd.cf ## See IRC::Indexer::Trawl::Bot for more on using trawlers from ## within your own POE-enabled apps.Product's homepage
