NAME
       POE::Component::IRC::Cookbook::Disconnecting - How to disconnect gracefully with PoCo-IRC

SYNOPSIS
       Shutting down an IRC bot can be quick and messy, or slow and graceful.

DESCRIPTION
       There are two ways you can shut down an IRC bot/client. The quick and dirty way is rather simple:

	exit;

       It exits the program, shutting down the socket, and everybody online sees yet another "Connection reset by peer" or "Remote end closed the
       socket" or something.

       As of version 6.50, all you need to do in order to shut down gracefully is to send a "shutdown" event to the IRC component.  It will make
       sure your quit message (if any) gets delivered, and will forcibly disconnect if there are any problems (faulty server or network issues).
       After doing this, it will unregister all sessions and clean up after itself.

       If you want to do something more elaborate on your own, take a look at the following documentation: logged in, "connected", "quit",
       "disconnect", and "unregister".
