It did autoload the perl.so for me, but I don't remember how to get script autoload thought. In xchat (in the first line): ====================================== Perl interface loaded ====================================== In the 'Windows -> Plugins and Scripts' menu shows that perl.so loaded by itself. Perhaps, try a new ~/.xchat2 again to see if it helps? >> > 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.
