Simple Perl module for accessing IRC servers

Question

I'm trying to write an extremely simple IRC client which sets the topic on a given channel (for which it first needs to identify and gain ops). Ideally I want to be able to write something like this:

$client = new IRC::Client(%config);
$client->connect();
$client->identify('password');
$client->join('#channel');
$client->op('#channel'); # gain ops
$client->set_topic('#channel', 'new topic');
$client->disconnect();

Is there a module which supports this limited functionality, with a simple interface? All the IRC-related modules on metacpan seem to be aimed at people wanting to write fully functional bots - I've looked at Bot::BasicBot , but that seems to want me to subclass the module, and AnyEvent::IRC::Client seems quite low level. I don't want to write event-handling code, just connect, issue a few commands, and disconnect.
