POE Component for manipulating IRC sessions

 POE::Component::IRC is a POE component which acts as an easily controllable
 IRC client for your other POE components and sessions. You create an IRC
 component and tell it what events your session cares about and where to
 connect to, and it sends back interesting IRC events when they happen. You
 make the client do things by sending it events.
