This is a late reply... but...

If you do the following, there is no need to links against glib. (Order does matter)

use Glib;
use Purple;

[download]

To get around the purple_perl_callXS error, you have to use LD_PRELOAD='' (or link against purple-2/perl.so, libpurple.so)

LD_PRELOAD='libpurple.so /location/to/lib/purple-2/perl.so' perl -MGli
+b -MPurple ...

[download]

But loading libpurple this way is pointless, since the current perl glue only exists so that a plugin can be written in perl. To actually write a client in perl some more glue is required. I started working on that glue (and it seems to work for me), and posted it at this link (there is an example in the libpurple/plugins/perl/scripts/nullclient.pl file after patching)
