Scriptable telnet-based virtual users

OurNet::BBSAgent provides an object-oriented interface to TCP/IP based interactive services, by simulating as a virtual user with action defined by a script language. The developer could then use the same methods to access different services, to easily implement interactive robots, spiders, or other cross-service agents. The scripting language of OurNet::BBSAgent features both flow-control and event-driven capabilities, makes it especially well-suited for dealing with automation tasks involved with Telnet-based BBS systems. This module is the foundation of the BBSAgent back-end described in OurNet::BBS. Please consult its man page for more information.
