I assume you are talking about AnyEvent::IRC? if yes, it helps to actually
mention this somewhere :)

"publicmsg" is definitely the right way to listen for channel messages
(it's called for privmsgs and notices to channels). looking at the docs, it
seems that you have to extratc it fromt he $msg using e.g. parse_irc_msg or
prefix_nick from AnyEvent::IRC::Util.
