Package: Perl scripts for the IRSSI IRC client
System name: irssi-script
Type: 2

Description:
IRSSI-Scripts is a set of script extending the functionality of the IRSSI IRC 
client.  IRSSI itself is GPL software.  The scripts that I have written so far 
are also available under the GPL, as will the the scripts I write in future be.
There are currently two scripts co-authored by me: one that implements a zap 
command (zap.pl) and another that sends arbitrary text to the Google natural 
language translation engine for translation.  They are being distributed 
through IRC at the moment -- no download site is available.
The scripts will all be written in Perl since that is the extension programming 
language of choice for IRSSI.  My co-author and I expect to keep bringing new 
scripts out as the bug bites us and to keep extending the functionality and 
features of these existing scripts.  We also hope to have other script 
contributors for IRSSI use this project as a central repository.


Other Software Required:
Requires the existence of the Google search engine on the Internet.  Does that 
count? :-)
