[comp.lang.perl] IRCD in Perl

eastick@me.utoronto.ca (Doug Eastick) (03/20/90)

[IRC = Internet Relay Chat, developed in Finland but now maintained by
several worldwide.  Available for ftp from salmon.ee.ubc.ca.  Port
number 6667, for now.  Mailing list is irclist@tolsun.oulu.fi.]

After looking at a core dump of ircd (the daemon which sends packets
between irc servers) and discovering that a text buffer overflowed, I
thought it would be cute (!?) to write it in Perl.  Anyone familiar
enough with IRC to try it?  Just an idea...
