DESCRIPTION

This Bot::IRC plugin adds functionality so bots can watch and notify on changes in RSS feeds. You can tell the bot to start following feeds.

    bot feed add URL [FORUMS]

You can optionally provide a "FORUMS" string, which is a list of channels the bot should report on for the feed. By default, the bot reports on all channels it has joined. (Requires the Bot::IRC::Join plugin.) The list of channels must be comma-delimited with no spaces.

You can list the feeds the bot is following:

    bot feed list

And you can remove feeds from being watched:

    bot feed remove URL

You can also remove all feeds from being watched:

    bot feed remove all

Configuration Settings

Setting the x-feeds values allows for configuration.

    Bot::IRC->new(
        connect => { server => 'irc.perl.org' },
        plugins => ['Feeds'],
        vars    => {
            'x-feeds' => {
                interval => 10,
                max_per  => 5,
            }
        },
    )->run;

The "interval" value is the time interval between calls to feeds, measured in minutes.

The "max_per" value is the number of items returned per feed per call.

The default values for all are shown in the example above.
