NAME

IRC::Indexer::Report::Network - Network information class for IRC::Indexer

SYNOPSIS

  my $network = IRC::Indexer::Report::Network->new;

  ## Or: save server MOTDs to global network hash.  
  ## Tracking a lot of MOTDs will eat memory fast.
  my $network = IRC::Indexer::Report::Network->new(
    ServerMOTDs => 1,
    
    ## Disable channel tracking, perhaps:
    NoChannels => 1,
  );
  
  ## Get ::Report::Server object from finished trawl bot:
  my $info_obj  = $trawler->report;
  ## Feed it to add_server:
  $network->add_server( $info_obj );
  
  ## Get a network info hash:
  my $net_hash = $network->dump;
  
  ## Re-create a Network object from a dumped hash:
  $network = IRC::Indexer::Report::Network->new(
    FromHash => $net_hash,
  );
