Net::Hotline::Client is a class implementing a Hotline internet client in Perl. It was specifically developed to aid in the creation of Hotline "bots," although its suitable for most other tasks as well. Hotline is an internet client/server system thats sort of a cross between IRC and a BBS. See http://www.hotlinesw.com/ for more information.

This document assumes you have some knowledge of the Hotline client. If not, I suggest downloading it from the URL above. (Its shareware. Mac and PC versions are available)
