💖 DCC(3) — Net::IRC::DCC 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about Net::IRC::DCC — the object-oriented interface to a single DCC connection. yes it's giving networking, yes it's giving Perl, yes we're doing this together 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🚧 Hard hat area: This section under construction. 🚧

like… literally that's what it says. no synopsis for us today, babe. we move 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

first things first, real talk: this documentation is a subset of the main Net::IRC documentation. so if you haven't already, please run perldoc Net::IRC before continuing. do it. i'll wait. 💖

ok so Net::IRC::DCC defines a few subclasses that handle DCC CHAT, GET, and SEND requests for inter-client communication. iconic, honestly. 🌈

and the way DCC objects get born? they're created by Connection->new_{chat,get,send}() — pretty much the same way IRC->newconn() creates a new connection object. same energy, different lil guy. ✨

🎀 METHOD DESCRIPTIONS 🎀

so this section is… also under construction 😭 but hopefully it will be finally written up by the next release. no cap. in the meantime, please go look at the irctest script and the source for details about this module. the source never lies, bestie. 👑
