Install all the above modules, using the standard:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

(read module docs for more info)

Finally, edit andychat.ini and change any relevant info (mainly 
the nick) and

perl schpati000.pl

BTW, make sure you're a user when running the proggie.  Just to
ease some security concerns for you and for the server you're
connecting to :)

It also helps to know that /IRC SERVER <irc server> [port]
connects to an IRC server :)
