CGI:IRC 0.4.2 -- http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/

----- Installation

See the documentation at http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/doc.html for details on
how to install it.

You will probally also want to have a good look in the config section where you can add access controls, and change lots of settings. You may also want to take a look at the format files where you can change the colours of the output and add the messages and some of the html code that is outputted.

If you wish to put the clean-up code in cron instead of being run each time
CGI:IRC starts then remove the autocleanup variable from the config file and
use the rm-stale.pl script instead.

------ Usage
Go to http://yourhost.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi (or wherever the irc.cgi script is
installed. Fill out the form with suitable values and click Login, you may join
multiple channels by seperating them with spaces.

If you want to find out the real ip of a user (so you can ban them from your
service or whatever), do /ctcp nick USERINFO, which will give you the ip
address and web browser they are using, or if you have the encoded_ips enabled
yse the decode.pl script along with the start of the whois output (minus the
square brackets)

There is more information on using CGI:IRC in the doc.html file as well as a basic template for writing your own html file to launch CGI:IRC in launch.html
