App::TimeTracker::Command::Post2IRC
NAME
App::TimeTracker::Command::Post2IRC - App::TimeTracker plugin for posting to IRC
VERSION
version 2.018
DESCRIPTION
We use an internal IRC channel for internal communication. And we all want (need) to know what other team members are currently doing. This plugin helps us making sharing this information easy.
After running some commands, this plugin prepares a short message and sends it (together with an authentification token) to a small webserver-cum-irc-bot (Bot::FromHTTP, not yet on CPAN, but basically just a slightly customized/enhanced pastebin).
The messages is transfered as a GET-Request like this:
http://yourserver/?message=some message&token=a58875d576e8c09a...
CONFIGURATION
