Aleesa-Telegram-bot - Telegram chatty bot
About
It is based on Perl modules Telegram::Bot and Hailo as conversation generator.
I have to fork Telegram::Bot and update it according to features appeared in Telegram Bot API v5. Also, I decide to rename it to avoid collision in the future, now it is Teapot::Bot and is bundled with bot. When lib becomes 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 (double fork() and detaches stdio).
