Adam/Moses Bot Framework
This framework is based on the work I've done over the last (OMG!) decade with the Bender IRC bot on irc.perl.org.
Synopsis
Download the tarball or clone the github repository.
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/perigrin/adam-bot-framework/tarball/master
git clone git://github.com/perigrin/adam-bot-framework.git
Then if you need to untar the file, and change into the directory.
tar -xvzf adam-bot-framework*.tar.gz cd adam-bot-framework
Now that you're in the directory you can use cpanminus
to install the dependencies.
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - -L cpan/ --installdeps .
Once that is done you should be able to run one of the example scripts.
perl -Ilib -Icpan/lib/perl5 examples/ncbot.pl
