=head1 BUGS

During the C<make>, C<make test>, C<make install> process, POE will moan about
its kernel not being run. This is a C<Bot::BasicBot problem>, apparently.
Reloading a module causes warnings as the old module gets its namespace stomped.
Not a lot you can do about that. All modules must be in Bot::Pluggable::Module::
namespace. Well, that's not really a bug.

=head1 REQUIREMENTS

Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable is based on POE, and really needs the latest version.
Because POE is like that sometimes. You also need L<POE::Component::IRC>.
Oh, and L<Bot::BasicBot>. Some of the modules will need more modules, e.g.
Google.pm needs L<Net::Google>. See the module docs for more details.

=head1 CREDITS

Bot::BasicBot was written initially by Mark Fowler, and worked on heavily by
Simon Kent, who was kind enough to apply some patches we needed for Pluggable.
Eventually. Oh, yeah, and I stole huge chunks of docs from the Bot::BasicBot
source too. I spent a lot of time in the mozbot code, and that has influenced
my ideas for Pluggable. Mostly to get round its awfulness.

Various people helped with modules. Convert was almost ported from the
infobot code by blech. But not quite. Thanks for trying... blech has also put
a lot of effort into the chump.cgi & chump.tem files in the examples/ folder,
including some /inspired/ calendar evilness.

And thanks to the rest of #2lmc who were my unwilling guinea pigs during
development. And who kept suggesting totally stupid ideas for modules that I
then felt compelled to go implement. Shout.pm owes its existence to #2lmc.

Thanks to Mike Eldridge (DIZ), maintainer until 2016, for kindly transferring
maintainership to me, BIGPRESH, so I can keep this useful bot framework alive.
