[Gaim-devel] Problems with Perl plugins in version 0.68

I found, after quite a bit of messing around, that I had to create a direct=
ory=20
structure in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl that contained:
Gaim.pm
auto/
	Gaim/
		Gaim.bs
		Gaim.so
		autosplit.ix
		None/
			lib/....

in order to get gaim to work at all with perl plugins. I assume that the=20
install script has some problems.

Anyway, I can make very simple stuff work, like the timeout example in the=
=20
perl-howto.html file, although there is a missing ; after the  PLUGIN_INFO=
=20
block in the listing on that page.=20

I cannot get the connection_signed_on_cb example from the same file to work=
=20
(after fixing the subroutine name problem connection_signed_on_cb -->=20
signed_on_cb):
get_account is not a valid Gaim::DebugLevel macro at (eval 2) line 3

I really have no idea what this means or what to do. Some more working=20
examples would really help. Trying to use the generated doc files for the c=
=20
interface is really not helping at all.=20

Is there something that corresponds to the old get_info() call? How about a=
=20
document that maps the old calls to the new ones?

Thanks, I am really rather confused at this point.
