POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty - A PoCo-IRC plugin which cycles (parts and rejoins) channels if they become empty and opless, in order to gain ops.
use POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty; $irc->plugin_add( 'CycleEmpty', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty->new();
POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::CycleEmpty is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. When someone quits, gets kicked, or parts a channel, the plugin will cycle the channel if the IRC component is alone on that channel and is not a channel operator. If there was a topic or a key set on the channel, they will be restored upon rejoining. This can be useful on small channels if the IRC network does not have ChanServ or IRCNet's +R channel mode.
This plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof.
new
Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's plugin_add() method.
is_cycling
One argument:
A channel name
Returns 1 if the plugin is currently cycling that channel, 0 otherwise. Useful if need to ignore the fact that the Component just parted the channel in question.
