[Gaim-devel] How to load a Perl script in Windows

[Jeffery T. <jef...@gm...>]

I'm trying to get Gaim to load a Perl script (the example from the 
Perl Scripting HOWTO) but it won't show up in the plugins preferences 
panel.

I'm using 0.79 (downgraded from 0.80 after it kept crashing in Yahoo 
chats) on Windows 98. I installed ActivePerl 5.8 in the default 
directory before installing Gaim; perl.dll exists in the Gaim plugins 
directory.

I copied the Perl example exactly and tried placing the file in the 
Gaim program directory, the main plugins directory, .gaim and 
.gaim/plugins, but it doesn't seem to work anywhere.

Is there anything I didn't do or didn't do correctly? Anything I 
should try?

(I posted this to the forum as well. Sorry for crossposting, but I'd 
really like to get this working; I've got some plugin ideas I want to 
try implementing.)

Thanks,
Jeff
