DESCRIPTION
POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Console is a POE::Component::IRC plugin that provides an interactive console running over the loopback network. One connects to the listening socket using a telnet client (or equivalent), authenticate using the applicable password. Once authed one will receive all events that are processed through the component. One may also issue all the documented component commands.

METHODS

  "new"
Takes two arguments:

'password', the password to set for *all* console connections;

'bindport', specify a particular port to bind to, defaults to 0, ie. randomly allocated;

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

  "getsockname"
Gives access to the underlying listener's "getsockname" method. See POE::Wheel::SocketFactory for details.

OUTPUT EVENTS
The plugin generates the following additional POE::Component::IRC events:

  "irc_console_service"
Emitted when a listener is successfully spawned. "ARG0" is the result of "getsockname", see above for details.

  "irc_console_connect"
Emitted when a client connects to the console. "ARG0" is the peeradr, "ARG1" is the peer port and "ARG2" is the wheel id of the connection.

  "irc_console_authed"
Emitted when a client has successfully provided a valid password. "ARG0" is the wheel id of the connection.

  "irc_console_close"
Emitted when a client terminates a connection. "ARG0" is the wheel id of the connection.

  "irc_console_rw_fail"
Emitted when a POE::Wheel::ReadWrite could not be created on a socket. "ARG0" is the peer's address, "ARG1" is the peer's port.
