DCC(3pm)

💖 Net::IRC::DCC 💖

okay bestie, so this is Net::IRC::DCC, a Perl module — manual page DCC(3pm) if you wanna get technical — and it's literally an object-oriented interface to a single DCC connection. yes. one connection. one object. main character energy, truly. ✨

🚧 SYNOPSIS 🚧

Hard hat area: This section under construction.

not me giving you a whole section that is literally just a construction sign 😭 the original authors said it, not me, so we're keeping it verbatim. wear a hard hat. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, important heads up first: this documentation is a subset of the main Net::IRC documentation. if you haven't already, please run perldoc Net::IRC before continuing. fr fr. it's giving "read the parent class first" and the parent class ate. 👑

Net::IRC::DCC defines a few subclasses that handle DCC CHAT, GET, and SEND requests for inter-client communication. so like — the whole direct-client-to-client gossip pipeline, that's what this module's about. 🦋

DCC objects get created by:

Connection->new_{chat,get,send}()

in much the same way that:

IRC->newconn()

creates a new connection object. same vibe, different subclass. iykyk. 💅

📝 METHOD DESCRIPTIONS 📝

this section is under construction too — but hopefully it will be finally written up by the next release, which is such a "we'll do it next sprint" promise and honestly? respectful. 😭

in the meantime, please look at the irctest script and the source itself for the deets about this module. the source never lies, bestie. 🫶
