Just a really out there suggestion...

Instead of just downloading software that's intended to teach *cough*scriptkiddie*cough*, you should learn Perl to make your bot far more functional than the template will allow.

Learning Perl will allow you to create innovative features, and your knowledge of the language will help you in other ways.

Try learning Perl. I (and many other perl monks) would be more than willing to help you if you had a problem with code you had written. But Perl Monks isn't tech support for cut-and-paste outside code.

Learn Perl. It's good for you.

from the wiredbots.com tutorial: I would recommend learning Perl if you want to make a good bot. There are some great sources to help you learn Perl, such as perl.com and perlmonks.com.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
