Hello everybody - I am finally getting back into the #pdl irc channel at irc.perl.org. I have managed to regain operator status (which is important because it lets me set the channel topic), I have rewritten a piddle-bot that is at least somewhat helpful, and I have gotten a pastebot working.
I will be on intermittently through the weekend, but should be on throughout the work week during Chicago business hours. I would encourage everybody to jump on when you have a chance so you can ask questions that you might have, or so you can answer questions that might come up. If you don't have an IRC client and don't want to download one, you can check it out via mibbit: http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?url=irc://irc.perl.org/pdl David ==== A few bot pointers: typing "help mod-name" will cause liddle_piddle_bot to construct a URL for the PDL docs for that module. It's not cross-checked against the documentation database, so if you feed it balogne, it'll give you balogne. You can omit the first "PDL::" in the module name. For example: help Graphics::PLplot Also, "cpan full::module::name" will generate a clickable hyperlink to p3rl.org pointing to that module's documentation. Finally, if you have many lines to paste, use shadowpaste. Go to http://scsys.co.uk:8001/, select the #pdl channel, give you nick, and paste the text. This is the perfect place for scripts and/or pdl/pdl2 sessions. After you submit the text, the shadowpaste bot will post a message in the channel with a link to follow so the rest of us can find the text of your paste.
