Re^3: IRC Client not Joining Channel

[assemble]

I recommend cutting out all the extra code next time, it is very distracting from the actual problem. So here is the code that you say appears to be bad

#-------------------Watch for IRC Inputs-------------------
sub incoming_data {
    my ( $fd, $condition, $fh ) = @_;
    
    print "its going\n";
    
    if ( $condition eq 'in' ) {
        my $input;
        sysread $fh, $input, 1000000;
        #chop $input;
        
        $input =~ s/\r\n//g;
    my $hashref = $parser->parse( $input );
    SWITCH: {
          my $type = lc $hashref->{command};
          my @args;
          push @args, $hashref->{prefix} if $hashref->{prefix};
          push @args, @{ $hashref->{params} };
          if ( defined $dispatch{$type} ) {
            $dispatch{$type}->(@args);
            last SWITCH;
          }
          print STDOUT join( ' ', "irc_$type:", @args ), "\n";
    }
}
        
    return 1;
}

First, I recommend changing:

        sysread $fh, $input, 1000000;
        #chop $input;
        
        $input =~ s/\r\n//g;

to:

    $input = <$fh>;
    chomp $input;

You can put a loop in there if you want to handle more than one line at a time. What you are doing mushes everything together and makes it unparseable.

It seems that the Gtk2::Helper is not running after the connection is made. The print in incoming_data "im going" does not appear so it seems like the Helper is not working.

sub connecting {
    # Connect to the IRC server.
    $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
        PeerAddr => $irc,
        PeerPort => 6667,
        Proto => 'tcp',
    ) or die "Can't connect\n";
    print "hello\n";
    
    $watch = Gtk2::Helper->add_watch( fileno $sock, 'in', \&incoming_d
+ata, $sock );
    # Log on to the server.
    print $sock "NICK $nick\r\n";
    print $sock "USER $login 8 * :CoCoNUE Member\r\n";
    
    $chat_entry->set_editable(1);
    $chat_entry->grab_focus;
    #chat_entry->signal_handler_unblock ($chat_send_sig);
    return 1;
}
