In this directory are some old Perl plugins I wrote for XChat.

I no longer actively use XChat, but these are here for anyone who may find them useful.

These scripts are old, unsupported, and not illustrative of my current coding standards - they're nasty.

Allows you to filter out unwanted messages matching regular expressions. Useful to ignore pointless things like "now playing" updates.

Parses messages relayed from one IRC channel to another (typically on a different network) by the NetLink eggdrop script written by David Proper and turns them into “normal” channel messages.

I used to use this in a trivia quiz channel; it parses messages containing the hints, e.g. "Hint: @@@ @@@@", and replaces them with a message showing the number of letters at a glance - e.g. "Hint letters: 3, 4". Also, more unsportingly, remembers the answers to questions, and if it sees that question again, reports the answer :)

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

Around line 22:

Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '“normal”'. Assuming UTF-8
