did you check this setting?
11:55:13 autolog_level = all -crap -clientcrap -ctcps

i have to check at the weekend about logging of the server stuff.

"/ircnet add -autosendcmd"
"/help ircnet" for more.
you can run multiple commmands there. e.g.:
'/ircnet add -autosendcmd "squery noteserv login darix myleetpw; query noteserv notify" IRCnet'

for autojoin use "/channel add -auto". e.g.:
'/channel add -auto #foobar IRCnet myleetchannelkey'

about your perl module: there is already file.pl from dg (you can find
it via http://scripts.irssi.org/)

why do you want to patch irssi all the time? :)

'/ircnet add -hostname foo.bar.org -nick foobar -realname "foo bar!" IRCnet'

isnt this sufficient enough?:)
