ZeroBot

• ZeroBot is a Perl IRC Bot that was created by Sparky as a way to learn Perl. Coding for the project is assisted by Cooper and miniCruzer on ZeroNET.

• ZeroNET IRC Network Information:

  • Host: irc.zeronet.us
  • Port: 6667
  • SSL: 6697

• As of this release, there is a new table in database. You should add it before being able to use the *QUOTE system. You can add it using the following command exactly:

  • $ sqlite3 zero.db "CREATE TABLE QUOTES (quoteskey INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, quote TEXT, creator TEXT);"

  Optionally, you may rm zero.db, and run ./mydbgen.sh again.

• Before you can start the bot, you need to generate a database with SQLite3. SQLite is available in most repositories. ZeroBot also requires the DBI module to communicate with the SQLite Database. You can install that with:

  • $ sudo cpan -i DBD::SQLite

• Dependency List:

  • Perl 5.10 or later
  • IO::Socket (core)
  • IO::Socket::SSL (for SSL support)
  • DBI [required]
  • DBD::SQLite [required]
  • Config::JSON [required]

  Config::JSON also has dependencies. CPAN will try and install them for you. They are:

  • Test::Deep
  • Test::More
  • List::Util
  • Moose

• After installing SQLite, use the following command to generate a database:

  • $ ./mydbgen

• Once installed use this to start the bot:

  • $ ./core.pl &
