Real-time IRC Bot Framework with Plugin System

Build an extensible IRC bot using the POE event-driven framework, supporting a plugin architecture so new commands can be dropped into a plugins folder and loaded at startup. Learners practice event-driven programming with POE, dynamic module loading, and designing a plugin API.

    Use POE::Component::IRC (or IRC::Client) to connect to a server and join a channel.

  2. 02

    Design the plugin interface

    ~2h

    Define a plugin base module contract with a standard command-registration method.

  3. 03

    Implement dynamic plugin loading

    ~2h

    Scan a plugins directory, require each module, and register its commands at startup.

  4. 04

    Build sample plugins

    ~2h

    Write a couple of example plugins (e.g. weather lookup, quote storage) using the plugin API.

  5. 05

    Add error isolation

    ~1.5h

    Ensure a crashing plugin doesn't take down the bot, logging plugin errors instead.
