Hello, I am using POE::Component::IRC for my IRC bot.
I have written a script using File::Tail to print a log file in real-time. The script works fine as a separate script but when I add this script into my IRC bot it causes it to lock up and ping out. I'm assuming It's a buffer issue. I've tried setting $| = 1; and I tried changing the while loop to an if loop like in the POE cookbook so it looked like this:
sub outputlog {
if ($switch == 1) {
sleep 3;
print "test";
outputlog->();
}
}
But no matter what I try even to do a basic loop like above it causes the bot to freeze and ping out. Anyone have any insight on how to make an infinite loop unbuffered in POE?
