Perlbot is an IRC bot written in Perl. It depends on Net::IRC and its goals are simplicity and modularity.

Perlbot is a totally modular bot. All functionality is provided by Plugins which use a standard, simple API. The two most common levels of functionality are encompassed by the "Core" and "Basic" sets of plugins. Click here for more information on Perlbot plugins.

A growing suite of integrated web services is also a feature that sets Perlbot apart. With integrated browsing and searching of channel logs via the web and XML web-published bot statistics, Perlbot makes lots of information readily available.
