=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Net::IRC3::Connection;

   my $con = new Net::IRC3::Connection;

   $con->connect ("test.not.at.irc.net", 6667);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Net::IRC3> itself is a simple building block for an IRC client.
It manages connections and parses and constructs IRC messages.

L<Net::IRC3> is I<very> simple, if you don't want to care about
all the other things that a client still has to do (like replying to
PINGs and remembering who is on a channel), I recommend to read
the L<Net::IRC3::Client> page instead.

Note that this module uses AnyEvent as it's IO event subsystem.
You can integrate Net::IRC3 into any application with a event system
that AnyEvent has support for (eg. L<Gtk2> or L<Event>).

=head1 EXAMPLES

See the samples/ directory for some examples on how to use Net::IRC3.
