ready to be released in the public.

IRCSTAT - Irc Statistics.

IRCSTAT generates practical statistics over domains and users that  
have connected to the local irc server. One has the option of filtering 
away any unwanted information.

The program is highly customable using a Ircstat Definition File (idf).
In the IDF it's possible to have usertranslations, host/domain translations,
userinformation, dominainformation.

The IRCSTAT program is written in Perl, thus you need perl to run it.


Normal use will give you a report like this (example taken from my server):

  STATISTICS FOR IRC SERVER ALF.UIB.NO 9/10 92  10:17:7

  These statistics are created on the basis of how long one has been
  connected to the server. This is a more correct form of statistics 
  than to just register number of connections.
