| Subject: | Module uses deprecated interface to POE::Component::IRC |
I get the following (mildly annoying) messages when starting up a bot:
Use of POE::Component::IRC->new() is deprecated, please use spawn().
Called from Bot::BasicBot /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Bot/BasicBot.pm 117
Trying to connect to server irc.perl.org
Use of POE::Component::IRC->new() is deprecated, please use spawn().
Called from Bot::BasicBot /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Bot/BasicBot.pm 946
I've discussed this with the maintainer on #bots:
ivorw By the way, how long has new() been deprecated in favour of spawn?
BinGOs ages.
BinGOs the B::BB author still hasn't noticed.
ivorw I will need to prod jerakeen to fix it
BinGOs I have a feeling that he may be using POE::Session->new() as well.
* ivorw notes there is not a ticket on RT for this
BinGOs it just needs that P::C::I instantiation line changing to
POE::Component::IRC->spawn( alias => $self->{IRCNAME} ) or die();
BinGOs storing the P::C::I object might be nice as well.
ivorw Thanx! I'll paste this dialogue into the RT ticket I'm raising if
that's OK with you
BinGOs Knock yourself out.
