Aleesa-Telegram-bot - Simple Telegram chatty bot

About

It is based on Perl modules Telegram::Bot and Hailo as conversation generator.

I have to fork Telegram::Bot and add some of new methods that are already appear in Telegram API, but author seems to abandon lib. Also, I decide to rename it to avoid collision in the future, now it is Teapot::Bot and is bundled with bot. When lib become mature enough, maybe I release it separately.

Bot config located in data/config.json, sample config provided as data/sample_config.json.

Bot can be run via bin/aleesa-telegram-bot and acts as daemon.
