💖 POE::C...leEmpty(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. she's a little Perl plugin with big main character energy and she does exactly one thing but does it flawlessly. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty — a PoCo-IRC plugin which cycles channels if they become empty and opless.

like. she cycles. she empties. she's giving op-recovery icon 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty;

$irc->plugin_add('CycleEmpty', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty->new());

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two lines and you're thriving 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty is a POE::Component::IRC plugin, periodt. here's the tea: when a channel member quits, gets kicked, or parts, the plugin will cycle the channel if the IRC component is alone on that channel and is not a channel operator. no cap.

and because she's not messy, if there was a topic or a key set on the channel, they will be restored upon rejoining. she remembered. she always remembers. 🫶

this is useful for regaining ops in small channels if the IRC network does not have ChanServ or IRCNet's +R channel mode. iykyk — if you've ever been stranded in a channel with zero ops and zero hope, this plugin is your savior 😭

lowkey important: this plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof. don't try to run her on a plain component, she will literally not vibe. 💀

👑 METHODS 👑

💜 new

Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's plugin_add method.

she's born ready. hand her straight to plugin_add and let her cook 🍓

💜 is_cycling

One argument:

• A channel name

useful if you need to ignore the fact that the Component just parted the channel in question. like, mind your business bestie, she's handling it 🙈
