SYNOPSIS

  use POE;
  use POE::Component::IRC::Test::Harness;

  my ($pocosi) = POE::Component::IRC::Test::Harness->spawn( Alias => 'ircd' );

  POE::Session->create (
        inline_states => { _start => \&test_start,
                           _stop  => \&test_stop, },

        heap => { Obj  => $pocosi },
  );

  $poe_kernel->run();
  exit 0;

  sub test_start {
    my ($kernel,$heap) = @_[KERNEL,HEAP];

    $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'register' );
    $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_i_line' => { IPMask => '*', Port => 6667 } );
    $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_operator' => { UserName => 'Flibble', Password => 'letmein' } );
    $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_listener' => { Port => 6667 } );
    $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'set_motd' => [ 'This is an experimental server', 'Testing POE::Component::Server::IRC', 'Enjoy!' ] );
