DESCRIPTION
    This module is a POE::Component::IRC plugin which uses
    POE::Component::IRC::Plugin for its base. It provides interface to count
    HTML tags and attributes in the web page given. The plugin is
    non-blocking and it accepts input from public channel events, "/notice"
    messages as well as "/msg" (private messages); although that can be
    configured at will.

IRC USAGE
    With all the default arguments you'd trigger the plugin with the
    following request:

        <Zoffix> CounterBot, count tag http://zoffix.com/ div a span

    Where "count" is the trigger, "tag" is the type of count that can be
    either "tag" or "attr", following that is the URI on which to perform
    the count and after the URI is a whitespace separated list of tags to
    count.

    Note that "tag http://zoffix.com/ div a span" line is all whitespace
    separated, you cannot change that, really.

CONSTRUCTOR
  "new"
        # plain and simple
        $irc->plugin_add(
            'HTMLCounter' => POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter->new
        );

        # juicy flavor
        $irc->plugin_add(
            'HTMLCounter' =>
                POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter->new(
                    auto             => 1,
                    ua               => LWP::UserAgent->new( timeout => 10 ),
                    response_event   => 'irc_html_counter',
                    banned           => [ qr/aol\.com$/i ],
                    addressed        => 1,
                    root             => [ qr/mah.net$/i ],
                    trigger          => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                    triggers         => {
                        public  => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                        notice  => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                        privmsg => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                    },
                    listen_for_input => [ qw(public notice privmsg) ],
                    eat              => 1,
                    debug            => 0,
                )
        );

    The "new()" method constructs and returns a new
    "POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter" object
    suitable to be fed to POE::Component::IRC's "plugin_add" method. The
    constructor takes a few arguments, but *all of them are optional*. The
    possible arguments/values are as follows:

   "auto"
        ->new( auto => 0 );

    Optional. Takes either true or false values, specifies whether or not
    the plugin should auto respond to requests. When the "auto" argument is
    set to a true value plugin will respond to the requesting person with
    the results automatically. When the "auto" argument is set to a false
    value plugin will not respond and you will have to listen to the events
    emited by the plugin to retrieve the results (see EMITED EVENTS section
    and "response_event" argument for details). Defaults to: 1.

   "response_event"
        ->new( response_event => 'event_name_to_recieve_results' );

    Optional. Takes a scalar string specifying the name of the event to emit
    when the results of the request are ready. See EMITED EVENTS section for
    more information. Defaults to: "irc_html_counter"

   "banned"
        ->new( banned => [ qr/aol\.com$/i ] );

    Optional. Takes an arrayref of regexes as a value. If the usermask of
    the person (or thing) making the request matches any of the regexes
    listed in the "banned" arrayref, plugin will ignore the request.
    Defaults to: "[]" (no bans are set).

   "root"
        ->new( root => [ qr/\Qjust.me.and.my.friend.net\E$/i ] );

    Optional. As opposed to "banned" argument, the "root" argument allows
    access only to people whose usermasks match any of the regexen you
    specify in the arrayref the argument takes as a value. By default: it is
    not specified. Note: as opposed to "banned" specifying an empty arrayref
    to "root" argument will restrict access to everyone.

   "trigger"
        ->new( trigger => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i );

    Optional. Takes a regex as an argument. Messages matching this regex,
    irrelevant of the type of the message, will be considered as requests.
    See also addressed option below which is enabled by default as well as
    trigggers option which is more specific. Note: the trigger will be
    removed from the message, therefore make sure your trigger doesn't match
    the actual data that needs to be processed. See "IRC USAGE" section
    below to understand how you need to format your trigger. Defaults to:
    "qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i"

   "triggers"
        ->new( triggers => {
                public  => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                notice  => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
                privmsg => qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i,
            }
        );

    Optional. Takes a hashref as an argument which may contain either one or
    all of keys public, notice and privmsg which indicates the type of
    messages: channel messages, notices and private messages respectively.
    The values of those keys are regexes of the same format and meaning as
    for the "trigger" argument (see above). Messages matching this regex
    will be considered as requests. The difference is that only messages of
    type corresponding to the key of "triggers" hashref are checked for the
    trigger. Note: the "trigger" will be matched irrelevant of the setting
    in "triggers", thus you can have one global and specific "local"
    triggers. See also addressed option below which is enabled by default as
    well as trigggers option which is more specific. Note: the trigger will
    be removed from the message, therefore make sure your trigger doesn't
    match the actual data that needs to be processed. Defaults to:
    "qr/^count\s+(?=\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+)/i"

   "addressed"
        ->new( addressed => 1 );

    Optional. Takes either true or false values. When set to a true value
    all the public messages must be *addressed to the bot*. In other words,
    if your bot's nickname is "Nick" and your trigger is "qr/^trig\s+/" you
    would make the request by saying "Nick, trig EXAMPLE". When addressed
    mode is turned on, the bot's nickname, including any whitespace and
    common punctuation character will be removed before matching the
    "trigger" (see above). When "addressed" argument it set to a false
    value, public messages will only have to match "trigger" regex in order
    to make a request. Note: this argument has no effect on "/notice" and
    "/msg" requests. Defaults to: 1

   "listen_for_input"
        ->new( listen_for_input => [ qw(public  notice  privmsg) ] );

    Optional. Takes an arrayref as a value which can contain any of the
    three elements, namely "public", "notice" and "privmsg" which indicate
    which kind of input plugin should respond to. When the arrayref contains
    "public" element, plugin will respond to requests sent from messages in
    public channels (see "addressed" argument above for specifics). When the
    arrayref contains "notice" element plugin will respond to requests sent
    to it via "/notice" messages. When the arrayref contains "privmsg"
    element, the plugin will respond to requests sent to it via "/msg"
    (private messages). You can specify any of these. In other words,
    setting "( listen_for_input =" [ qr(notice privmsg) ] )> will enable
    functionality only via "/notice" and "/msg" messages. Defaults to: "[
    qw(public notice privmsg) ]"

   "eat"
        ->new( eat => 0 );

    Optional. If set to a false value plugin will return a "PCI_EAT_NONE"
    after responding. If eat is set to a true value, plugin will return a
    "PCI_EAT_ALL" after responding. See POE::Component::IRC::Plugin
    documentation for more information if you are interested. Defaults to: 1

   "debug"
        ->new( debug => 1 );

    Optional. Takes either a true or false value. When "debug" argument is
    set to a true value some debugging information will be printed out. When
    "debug" argument is set to a false value no debug info will be printed.
    Defaults to: 0.

EMITED EVENTS
  "response_event"
        $VAR1 = {
            'result_readable' => '9 class, 17 href and 15 id',
            'where' => 'http://zoffix.com/',
            'type' => 'attr',
            'result' => {
                'href' => '17',
                'id' => '15',
                'class' => '9'
            },
            'what' => [
                'href',
                'class',
                'id'
            ],
            'out' => 'Zoffix, I counted 9 class, 17 href and 15 id attributes',
            '_what' => 'attr http://zoffix.com/ href class id',
            '_channel' => '#zofbot',
            '_type' => 'public',
            '_who' => 'Zoffix!n=Zoffix@unaffiliated/zoffix',
            '_message' => 'CounterBot, count attr http://zoffix.com/ href class id',
        };

    The event handler set up to handle the event, name of which you've
    specified in the "response_event" argument to the constructor (it
    defaults to "irc_html_counter") will recieve input every time request is
    completed. The input will come in $_[ARG0] on a form of a hashref. The
    possible keys/values of that hashrefs are as follows:

   "result_readable"
        { 'result_readable' => '15 a, 6 div and 8 span', }

    The "result_readable" key will contain the return value of
    "result_readable" method of WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter.

   "result"
        {
            'result' => {
                'href' => '17',
                'id' => '15',
                'class' => '9'
            },
        }

    The "result" key will contain the same hashref as
    WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter's "count()" method would return. See
    WWW::HTMLTagAttributeCounter for details.

   "where"
        'where' => 'http://zoffix.com/',

    The "where" key will contain the URI of the page on which the count is
    performed.

   "type"
        'type' => 'tag',

    The "type" key will contain the type of the count, this will be either
    "attr" or "tag".

   "result"
        'result' => 'Zoffix, I counted 15 a, 6 div and 8 span tags',

    The "result" key will contain the message that would be spoken on IRC
    when constructor's "auto" argument is set to a true value.

   "what"
        'what' => [
            'div',
            'a',
            'span'
        ],

    The "what" key will contain an arrayref of tags or attributes that were
    counted.

   "_who"
        { '_who' => 'Zoffix!Zoffix@i.love.debian.org', }

    The "_who" key will contain the user mask of the user who sent the
    request.

   "_what"
        { '_what' => 'EXAMPLE', }

    The "_what" key will contain user's message after stripping the
    "trigger" (see CONSTRUCTOR).

   "_message"
        { '_message' => 'CounterBot, count attr http://zoffix.com/ href class id', }

    The "_message" key will contain the actual message which the user sent;
    that is before the trigger is stripped.

   "_type"
        { '_type' => 'public', }

    The "_type" key will contain the "type" of the message the user have
    sent. This will be either "public", "privmsg" or "notice".

   "_channel"
        { '_channel' => '#zofbot', }

    The "_channel" key will contain the name of the channel where the
    message originated. This will only make sense if "_type" key contains
    "public".
