DESCRIPTION
Bot::WootOff periodically polls woot.com during a woot-off and sends
messages to in IRC channel to alert the user of new items.
What, you don't know what woot.com is? It's a site that sells one item a
day at a discounted price. Once the item is sold out, the site runs idle
for the rest of the day. But every once in a while, it switches into a
mode called woot-off, where it keeps popping up new items as soon as the
lot of the previous item is sold. This is called a "Woot Off", and it's
something many people are looking forward to, as all items, and most of
all, the legendary "Bag of Crap", can be had a bargain price. If you
think all of this is silly, move on to the next CPAN module! Nice
meeting you! If you're a bargain hunter, continue reading.
If you notice that there's a woot-off going on on woot.com, simply start
your bot via the 'wootbot' script included in this module, like
wootbot -s irc.freenote.net -c '#wootoff'
or use the perl code in the SYNOPSIS section of this document. The bot
will start up, connect to the IRC server, and log into the channel
