=head1 DESCRIPTION
The functions in this module take care of many of the tasks you are faced
with when working with IRC. Mode lines, ban masks, message encoding and
formatting, etc.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 C<uc_irc>
Takes one mandatory parameter, a string to convert to IRC uppercase, and one
optional parameter, the casemapping of the ircd (which can be B<'rfc1459'>,
B<'strict-rfc1459'> or B<'ascii'>. Default is B<'rfc1459'>). Returns the IRC
uppercase equivalent of the passed string.
=head2 C<lc_irc>
Takes one mandatory parameter, a string to convert to IRC lowercase, and one
optional parameter, the casemapping of the ircd (which can be B<'rfc1459'>,
B<'strict-rfc1459'> or B<'ascii'>. Default is B<'rfc1459'>). Returns the IRC
lowercase equivalent of the passed string.
=head2 C<eq_irc>
Takes two mandatory parameters, IRC strings (channels or nicknames) to
compare. A third, optional parameter specifies the casemapping. Returns true
if the two strings are equivalent, false otherwise
 # long version
 lc_irc($one, $map) eq lc_irc($two, $map)
 # short version
 eq_irc($one, $two, $map)
=head2 C<parse_mode_line>
Takes a list representing an IRC mode line. Returns a hashref. Optionally
you can also supply an arrayref and a hashref to specify valid channel
modes (default: C<[qw(beI k l imnpstaqr)]>) and status modes (default:
C<< {o => '@', h => '%', v => '+'} >>), respectively.
If the modeline
couldn't be parsed the hashref will be empty. On success the following keys
will be available in the hashref:
B<'modes'>, an arrayref of normalised modes;
B<'args'>, an arrayref of applicable arguments to the modes;
Example:
 my $hashref = parse_mode_line( 'ov+b-i', 'Bob', 'sue', 'stalin*!*@*' );
 # $hashref will be:
 {
    modes => [ '+o', '+v', '+b', '-i' ],
    args  => [ 'Bob', 'sue', 'stalin*!*@*' ],
 }
=head2 C<normalize_mask>
Takes one parameter, a string representing an IRC mask. Returns a normalised
full mask.
Example:
 $fullbanmask = normalize_mask( 'stalin*' );
 # $fullbanmask will be: 'stalin*!*@*';
=head2 C<matches_mask>
Takes two parameters, a string representing an IRC mask and something to
match against the IRC mask, such as a nick!user@hostname string. Returns
a true value if they match, a false value otherwise. Optionally, one may
pass the casemapping (see L<C<uc_irc>|/uc_irc>), as this function uses
C<uc_irc> internally.
=head2 C<matches_mask_array>
Takes two array references, the first being a list of strings representing
IRC masks, the second a list of somethings to test against the masks. Returns
an empty hashref if there are no matches. Otherwise, the keys will be the
masks matched, each value being an arrayref of the strings that matched it.
Optionally, one may pass the casemapping (see L<C<uc_irc>|/uc_irc>), as
this function uses C<uc_irc> internally.
=head2 C<unparse_mode_line>
Takes one argument, a string representing a number of mode changes. Returns
a condensed version of the changes.
  my $mode_line = unparse_mode_line('+o+o+o-v+v');
  $mode_line is now '+ooo-v+v'
=head2 C<gen_mode_change>
Takes two arguments, strings representing a set of IRC user modes before and
after a change. Returns a string representing what changed.
  my $mode_change = gen_mode_change('abcde', 'befmZ');
  $mode_change is now '-acd+fmZ'
=head2 C<parse_user>
Takes one parameter, a string representing a user in the form
nick!user@hostname. In a scalar context it returns just the nickname.
In a list context it returns a list consisting of the nick, user and hostname,
respectively.
=head2 C<is_valid_chan_name>
Takes one argument, a channel name to validate. Returns true or false if the
channel name is valid or not. You can supply a second argument, an array of
characters of allowed channel prefixes. Defaults to C<['#', '&']>.
=head2 C<is_valid_nick_name>
Takes one argument, a nickname to validate. Returns true or false if the
nickname is valid or not.
=head2 C<numeric_to_name>
Takes an IRC server numerical reply code (e.g. '001') as an argument, and
returns the corresponding name (e.g. 'RPL_WELCOME').
=head2 C<name_to_numeric>
Takes an IRC server reply name (e.g. 'RPL_WELCOME') as an argument, and returns the
corresponding numerical code (e.g. '001').
=head2 C<has_color>
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns true if it contains any IRC
color codes, false otherwise. Useful if you want your bot to kick users for
(ab)using colors. :)
=head2 C<has_formatting>
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns true if it contains any IRC
formatting codes, false otherwise.
=head2 C<strip_color>
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns the string stripped of all
IRC color codes.
=head2 C<strip_formatting>
Takes one parameter, a string of IRC text. Returns the string stripped of all
IRC formatting codes.
=head2 C<decode_irc>
This function takes a byte string (i.e. an unmodified IRC message) and
returns a text string. Since the source encoding might have been UTF-8,
you should store it with UTF-8 or some other Unicode encoding in your
file/database/whatever to be safe. For a more detailed discussion, see
L</ENCODING>.
 use IRC::Utils qw(decode_irc);
 sub message_handler {
     my ($nick, $channel, $message) = @_;
     # not wise, $message is a byte string of unkown encoding
     print $message, "\n";
     $message = decode_irc($what);
     # good, $message is a text string
     print $message, "\n";
 }
=head1 CONSTANTS
Use the following constants to add formatting and mIRC color codes to IRC
messages.
Normal text:
 NORMAL
Formatting:
 BOLD
 UNDERLINE
 REVERSE
 ITALIC
 FIXED
Colors:
 WHITE
 BLACK
 BLUE
 GREEN
 RED
 BROWN
 PURPLE
 ORANGE
 YELLOW
 LIGHT_GREEN
 TEAL
 LIGHT_CYAN
 LIGHT_BLUE
 PINK
 GREY
 LIGHT_GREY
Individual non-color formatting codes can be cancelled with their
corresponding constant, but you can also cancel all of them at once with
C<NORMAL>. To cancel the effect of color codes, you must use C<NORMAL>.
which of course has the side effect of cancelling all other formatting codes
as well.
 $msg = 'This word is '.YELLOW.'yellow'.NORMAL.' while this word is'.BOLD.'bold'.BOLD;
 $msg = UNDERLINE.BOLD.'This sentence is both underlined and bold.'.NORMAL;
=head1 ENCODING
=head2 Messages
The only encoding requirement the IRC protocol places on its messages is
that they be 8-bits and ASCII-compatible. This has resulted in most of the
Western world settling on ASCII-compatible Latin-1 (usually Microsoft's
CP1252, a Latin-1 variant) as a convention. Recently, popular IRC clients
(mIRC, xchat, certain irssi configurations) have begun sending a mixture of
CP1252 and UTF-8 over the wire to allow more characters without breaking
backward compatibility (too much). They send CP1252 encoded messages if the
characters fit within that encoding, otherwise falling back to UTF-8, and
likewise autodetecting the encoding (UTF-8 or CP1252) of incoming messages.
Since writing text with mixed encoding to a file, terminal, or database is
not a good idea, you need a way to decode messages from IRC.
L<C<decode_irc>|/decode_irc> will do that.
=head2 Channel names
The matter is complicated further by the fact that some servers allow
non-ASCII characters in channel names. IRC modules generally don't
explicitly encode or decode any IRC traffic, but they do have to
concatenate parts of a message (e.g. a channel name and a message) before
sending it over the wire. So when you do something like
C<< privmsg($channel, 'æði') >>, where C<$channel> is the unmodified
channel name (a byte string) you got from an earlier IRC message, the
channel name will get double-encoded when concatenated with your message (a
non-ASCII text string) if the channel name contains non-ASCII bytes.
To prevent this, you can't simply L<decode|/decode_irc> the channel name and
then use it. C<'#æði'> in CP1252 is not the same channel as C<'#æði'> in
UTF-8, since they are encoded as different sequences of bytes, and the IRC
server only cares about the byte representation. Therefore, when using a
channel name you got from the server (e.g. when replying to message), you
should use the original byte string (before it has been decoded with
L<C<decode_irc>|/decode_irc>), and encode any other parameters (with
L<C<encode_utf8>|Encode>) so that your message will be concatenated
correctly. At some point, you'll probably want to print the channel name,
write it to a log file or use it in a filename, so you'll eventually have to
decode it, at which point the UTF-8 C<#æði> and CP1252 C<#æði> will have to
be considered equivalent.
 use Encode qw(encode_utf8 encode);
 sub message_handler {
     # these three are all byte strings
     my ($nick, $channel, $message) = @_;
     # bad: if $channel has any non-ASCII bytes, they will get double-encoded
     privmsg($channel, 'æði');
     # bad: if $message has any non-ASCII bytes, they will get double-encoded
     privmsg('#æði', $message);
     # good: both are byte strings already, so they will concatenate correctly
     privmsg($channel, $message);
     # good: both are text strings (Latin1 as per Perl's default), so
     # they'll be concatenated correctly
     privmsg('#æði', 'æði');
     # good: similar to the last one, except now they're using UTF-8, which
     # means that the channel is actually not the same as above
     use utf8;
     privmsg('#æði', 'æði');
     # good: $channel and $msg_bytes are both byte strings
     my $msg_bytes = encode_utf8('æði');
     privmsg($channel, $msg_bytes);
     # good: $chan_bytes and $message are both byte strings
     # here we're sending a message to the utf8-encoded #æði
     my $utf8_bytes = encode_utf8('#æði');
     privmsg($utf8_bytes, $message);
     # good: $chan_bytes and $message are both byte strings
     # here we're sending a message to the cp1252-encoded #æði
     my $cp1252_bytes = encode('cp1252', '#æði');
     privmsg($cp1252_bytes, $message);
     # bad: $channel is in an undetermined encoding
     log_message("Got message from $channel");
     # good: using the decoded version of $channel
     log_message("Got message from ".decode_irc($channel));
