NAME
POE::Compoent::IRC::Plugin::MultiProxy::State - Generates IRC server replies based on information provided by POE::Component::IRC::State
SYNOPSIS
use POE::Compoent::IRC::Plugin::MultiProxy::State;
$irc->plugin_add('State', POE::Compoent::IRC::Plugin::MultiProxy::State->new());DESCRIPTION
POE::Compoent::IRC::Plugin::MultiProxy::::State is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. Its role is to use POE::Component::IRC::State's information as a cache so that fewer trips will be to the IRC server when clients submit queries. The methods here are only useful for a subset of the use cases that their corresponding commands are capable of, mostly because there are certain cases that only the actual IRC server can handle. However, the methods can handle all the automatic queries that modern IRC clients make, so it does the job.
Another thing this plugin does is hide from clients all server replies elicited by POE::Component::IRC::State's information gathering.
This plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof.
