When creating a perlmodule I would like to trigger a message back to the channel, but for some reason the PutUser is displayed BEFORE the message which triggered the function itself. I developed a hack to get around that (since PutIRC does not display on the user hosting the script) but it involves printing the triggering message manually, then sending a HALTCORE back to znc.

I have attached the function, but perhaps I am just doing something wrong. If this is the intended functionality then sorry for bothering you!

sub OnChanMsg {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($nick, $chan, $msg) = @_;

    if($chan->GetName eq "#vong"){
                #log to module.
                #$self->PutModule("Hey, ".$nick->GetNick." said [$msg] on ".$chan->GetName);
                my $replyString="Channel: ".$chan->GetName." , Message: ".$msg." , Nick: ".$nick->GetNick." , Hosted by ".$varrrr;
                #$self->GetUser->GetNick; # user account
                $self->PutIRC("PRIVMSG ".$chan->GetName." :".$replyString); #send the reply to the user's query
                $self->PutUser(":".$nick->GetNick." PRIVMSG ".$chan->GetName." :".$msg); #print the users message locally
                $self->PutUser(":".$self->GetNetwork->GetCurNick."* PRIVMSG ".$chan->GetName." :".$replyString); #then the reply locally

                return $ZNC::HALTCORE; #and tell ZNC not to post the message, as I did already  If you dont do it this way it will put the reply before the message
                #return $ZNC::CONTINUE;
        }else{
                return $ZNC::CONTINUE;
        }
}

This is expected behaviour, PutIRC goes to the server, PutUser goes to user's clients.

Feel free to ask questions about the API on #znc on freenode/efnet.
