NAME

       POE::Filter::IRC -- A POE-based parser for the IRC protocol

SYNOPSIS

        my $filter = POE::Filter::IRC->new();
        my @events = @{ $filter->get( [ @lines ] ) };

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Filter::IRC takes lines of raw IRC input and turns them into weird little data
       structures, suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC.  They look like this:

        { name => 'event name', args => [ some info about the event ] }

       This module was long deprecated in POE::Component::IRC.  It now uses the same mechanism
       that that uses to parse IRC text.

CONSTRUCTOR

   "new"
       Returns a new POE::Filter::Stackable object containing a POE::Filter::IRCD object and a
       POE::Filter::IRC::Compat object. This does the same job that POE::Filter::IRC used to do.

METHODS

       See the documentation for POE::Filter::IRCD and POE::Filter::IRC::Compat.
