irc

I've used mIRC (Windows) for years, and have some custom scripts, written in mIRC's own scripting language.

Is there an Ubuntu/Linux IRC Client which will allow me to use my scripts as-is?

Failing that, is there a "functions a lot like mIRC" Client available?

I've just tried Pidgin's IRC client, but it seems to be quite basic.
I couldn't see any way for it to tap into channel activity via scripts.

I don't want to use Wine... WineHQ reports it as having too many bugs for my liking, and anyhow, I try to avoid using Wine like I do Windows :)
