POE::Component::IRC::Qnet::State - a fully event-driven IRC client module for Quakenet, with nickname and channel tracking from the POE::Component::IRC::State manpage.

POE::Component::IRC::Qnet::State is an extension to the POE::Component::IRC::Qnet manpage specifically for use on Quakenet http://www.quakenet.org/, which includes the nickname and channel tracking from the POE::Component::IRC::State manpage. See the documentation for the POE::Component::IRC::Qnet manpage and the POE::Component::IRC::State manpage for general usage. This document covers the extensions.
Expects a nickname as parameter. Will return that users authname ( account ) if that nick is in the state and have authed with Q. Returns undef if the user is not authed or the nick doesn't exist in the state.
Expects an authname and a channel name. Will return a list of nicks on the given channel that have authed with the given authname.
Expects a nickname. Returns a hashref containing similar information to that returned by WHOIS. Returns an undef if the nickname doesn't exist in the state. The hashref contains the following keys: 'Nick', 'User', 'Host', 'Se rver', 'Auth', if authed, and, if applicable, 'IRCop'.
These additional events are accepted:
Accepts a list of channels, will resynchronise each of those channels as if they have been joined for the first time. Expect to see an 'irc_chan_sync' event for each channel given.
Accepts a nickname and a list of channels. Will resynchronise the given nickname and issue an 'irc_nick_sync' event for each of the given channels ( assuming that nick is on each of those channels ).
This module returns one additional event over and above the usual events:
Sent when the component detects that a user has authed with Q. Due to the mechanics of Quakenet you will usually only receive this if an unauthed user joins a channel, then at some later point auths with Q. The component 'detects' the auth by seeing if Q or L decides to +v or +o the user. Klunky? Indeed. But it is the only way to do it, unfortunately.
Like the POE::Component::IRC::State manpage this component registers itself for a number of events. The main difference with the POE::Component::IRC::State manpage is that it uses an extended form of 'WHO' supported by the Quakenet ircd, asuka. This WHO returns a different numeric reply than the original WHO, namely, 'irc_354'. Also, due to the way Quakenet is configured all users will appear to be on the server '*.quakenet.org'.
A few have turned up in the past and they are sure to again. Please use http://rt.cpan.org/ to report any. Alternatively, email the current maintainer.
