This is a non-notable Perl script. It has one third-party reference, which briefly explains and then uses this script in a how-to, so the reference is not really about the script and not really significant. Notability needs multiple and significant third party references. As a note to the closing admin, this was redirect to Provisional Institutions of Self-Government and a redirect should exist after close. An additional note about this reference book, which a lot of articles in this subject area seem to rely on - the book is titled IRC Hacks, maybe there should be an umbrella article on this concept instead of dozens of stub articles that will never grow.

significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent
of the subject and satisfies the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article:

  • Great, blogs, undergrads making stats and download/source code distribution sites. We know it exists. We know Linux distros include it. We know people use it. What makes this an encyclopedic topic? Wikipedia is not a directory of everything. Miami33139 (talk) 05:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah, so you admit that it is ignorance then. For your convenience I have now clearly outlined exactly what makes these encyclopedic in brackets after the link. NONE of these are blogs; the usage examples are notable for the channels they are generated for, not by whom they are created; the multiple OS inclusion demonstrates that this is a notable piece of software. This addresses all of your concerns. Further more, please read
      WP:NOTDIR, as per your comment, which clearly does not apply here. An encyclopedia is a written compendium aiming to convey information on all branches of knowledge. --Hm2k (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply
