Perhaps, try a new ~/.xchat2 again to see if it helps? I tried that and still no joy for autoloading. Its really odd since what xchat is looking for seems to be there: nm -D /usr/X11R6/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so | grep xchat_plugin_init 000080d8 T xchat_plugin_init Something is obviously different between our systems since yours seems to autoload while mine doesn't.

I may try xchat2 on my -current box and see what results I get. Its a slow box so it may take a day or so to even get it installed. I appreciate everyone's efforts to resolve this little issue! Thanks ever so much, Randy --
