The Foobot

About

This homepage, just like the Foobot itself, is under development.

From the Sourceforge project description: "The Foobot is yet another IRC bot, written in perl and easily extendable through an event based plugin system. It offers parser and wrapper functions for the complete RFC 1459 and more in separate modules."

The Foobot is released under the General Public License.

A more or less working copy of version 1 can be obtained at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/foobot/.
