I renamed my ~/.xchat2 directory and tried a clean startup.  And I
can load the perl.so module without crashing xchat2.  Note that the
warning about not being able to preload is still present, but it
does not crash:

   AutoLoad failed for:
   /usr/X11R6/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so

   No xchat_plugin_init symbol; is this really an xchat plugin?

The perl script I was using was an fserve:

  http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~awerth/obsidian/

The version I was successfully using prior to the last ports update was:

  http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~awerth/obsidian/obsidian-0.9.2-pre1.tar.gz

I have tried other versions but with the same results.  I also
tried a couple of other perl scripts including the one that comes
with the distribution:

  /usr/ports/irc/xchat2/work/xchat-2.0.8/plugins/perl/sample_script.pl

I can load the perl.so module, but trying to use any perl script
causes the core dump.  So I'm not sure its the perl scripts.

Again, thanks for looking at this!

Best regards,

Randy
