in thread Purple/Pidgin perl plugin load error

Interesting. Indeed use'ing both Glib and Purple gets rid of the g_str_hash error, but as you say still throws the purple_perl_callXS error.

Writing a plugin in perl is all I'm really looking for.

    this page this page seems to contain everything that's needed to write one. (It's a little old,but is mostly accurate)

      The latest version of that page is up at http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/perl-howto.html I believe.

      Both of them still use Gaim instead of Purple though.

      Regardless, I've seen those pages before and tried the example plugin, but it's actually throwing pretty much the same errors already mentioned above. Which is why I started this thread in the first place :)

        If you copy your plugin to ~/.purple/plugins, and then load it from Pidgin (Tools->Plugins), then the error should go away.
