NAME

Net::IRC::SeenExt - Tracks the times people spoke lastly

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::IRC;
  use Net::IRC::SeenExt;

  my $bot = Net::IRC.new(...);
  $bot does Net::IRC::SeenExt[public => 0];
  # or
  class MyBot does Net::IRC::SeenExt[public => 0] {...}
  my $bot = MyBot.new(...);

  my :(date => $date, text => $text) := $bot.seen("iblech");
  say "iblech was last seen {time - $date}s ago, saying: $text";

DESCRIPTION

Net::IRC::SeenExt is a role which installs a event handler listening for all PRIVMSGs. Each time people say something (in public), the current time and the text they said is saved.

If the (optional) role parameter public is set to a true value, Net::IRC::SeenExt installs a public command handler matching ?seen nick

There's also the seen(Str $nick) method, which can be used to query Net::IRC::SeenExt for the time $nick was last seen, too.

BUGS

Beware: This role uses syntax which is not yet accepted, see thread "Syntax for specifying role parameters" on p6l.
