IRC USAGE

The robot replies to requests in the following form:

Commands

The robot understand the following subcommands:

• release

• date

  < you> bot: corelist release Test::More
  < bot> you: Test::More was first released with perl 5.7.3 (released on 2002-03-05)

  If no command is given, release is the default.

• find

  < you> bot corelist search Data
