Aleesa-IRC-bot - Simple IRC chatty bot
About
It is based on Perl modules Bot::IRC and Hailo as conversation generator.
Config located in data/config.json, sample config provided as data/sample_config.json.
Bot can be run via bin/aleesa-irc-bot and acts as daemon.
This bot has an experimental status due to lack of thorough testing.
Installation
In order to run this application, you need to "bootstrap" it - download and install all dependencies and libraries.
You'll need "Development Tools" or similar group of packages, perl, perl-devel, perl-local-lib, perl-app-cpanm, sqlite-devel, zlib-devel, openssl-devel, libdb4-devel (Berkeley DB devel), make.
After installing required dependencies it is possible to run:
bash bootstrap.sh
and all libraries should be downloaded, built, tested and installed.
Caveats
Due to hard limitations on many IRC servers, I have to implement help message in different manner comparing to my other bots. The point is IRC does not support multiline messages. So message must not contain newline or return carriage symbol. So I have to split help by topics. Say thanks to author of this bot framework help topics are so easy to implement.
