Net::Hotline::User is a simple class for storing and retrieving user information, You should never have to create your own Net::Hotline::User objects when using Net::Hotline::Client. Getting and setting attributes is all that should be necessary.

new \s-1SOCKET\s0, \s-1NICK\s0, \s-1LOGIN\s0, \s-1ICON\s0, \s-1COLOR\s0

With no arguments, creates a new Net::Hotline::User object with all attributes set to undef. The other option is to supply exactly 5 arguments as listed above.

All the Net::Hotline::User methods are simple attribute get/set routines. If given an argument, they set an attribute. In all cases, they return the current value of the attribute.

color \s-1NUMBER\s0

The color of the user in the userlist. Values are numbers from 0 to 3. The hash \s-1HTLC_COLORS\s0 defined in Net::Hotline::Constants contains number to name color mappings (i.e. $HTLC_COLORS{2} is \*(L"red\*(R"). Example: use Net::Hotline::Constants qw(HTLC_COLORS); ... print $user->nick(), " is ", $HTLC_COLORS{$user->color()}, "\n";
