Growl/Email notifications for Irssi

Submitted by mario on Wed, 20/07/2011 - 12:43

I wanted to get notifications for mentions/messages on a remotely screened session of Irssi, and came across a cool notify.io irssi script.

The author has a writeup of how to get Irssi notifications with notify.io.

The only tip I have is related to an issue with the following perl error when loading the script:

Can't locate HTTP/Request/Common.pm in @INC

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and needed to install the following package:

sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

Otherwise it's pretty awesome and simple to set up!
