DESCRIPTION

       Net::Hotline::User is a simple class for storing and retrieving user information,  You should never have to create your own
       Net::Hotline::User objects when using Net::Hotline::Client.  Getting and setting attributes is all that should be necessary.

CONSTRUCTION

       new SOCKET, NICK, LOGIN, ICON, COLOR
	   With no arguments, creates a new Net::Hotline::User object with all attributes set to undef. The other option is to supply exactly 5
	   arguments as listed above.

METHODS

       return the current value of the attribute.

		   ...
		   print $user->nick(), " is ", $HTLC_COLORS{$user->color()}, "
";
