SYNOPSIS

        use POE qw(Component::IRC::State Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin);

        my $nickname = 'Chatter';
        my $server = 'irc.blahblahblah.irc';

        my %channels = (
            '#Blah'   => '',
            '#Secret' => 'secret_password',
            '#Foo'    => '',

        POE::Session->create(
            package_states => [
                main => [ qw(_start irc_join) ],
            ],
        );

        $poe_kernel->run();

        sub _start {
            my $irc = POE::Component::IRC::State->spawn(
                Nick => $nickname,
                Server => $server,
            ) or die "Oh noooo! $!";

            $irc->plugin_add('AutoJoin', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin->new( Channels => \%channels ));
            $irc->yield(register => qw(join);
            $irc->yield(connect => { } );
        }

        sub irc_join {

            $irc->yield(privmsg => $chan => "hi $channel!");
        }

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.
