cgiirc for Debian
-----------------

CGI:IRC is a Perl/CGI program that allows you to use IRC from a Web
browser without having to have access to an IRC port. It does not
use Java, but it does need a browser capable of rendering frames.
It can be used on a Web page to allow users to chat and can also be
used to access chat from behind a firewall.

Homepage: http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/

To enable cgiirc usage you should symlink /usr/share/cgiirc/www in your
document root, i.e.: (assuming your document root is /var/www)

 ln -s /usr/share/cgiirc/www /var/www/cgiirc

After that you should be able to access your cgiirc installation as i.e:

	http://localhost/cgiirc/

Debian cgiirc has it's configuration files in:
  * /etc/cgiirc

You should probably take a look at that since, by default, only localhost
access to cgiirc is allowed. You would probably also like to configure different
default servers and/or channels.

You can find a list of all configuration options in:
  * /usr/share/doc/cgiirc/examples/cgiirc.config.full.gz

You can switch to a less-overhead (but architecture-specific)
cgi by changing `script_form = client-perl.cgi' to
`script_form = client.cgi' in /etc/cgiirc/cgiirc.config
