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. Its odd too that the manual loading is successful on my box while the autoload doesn't. <snip a bit more> > > Yes, you are correct ;-) I deinstalled Perl 5.6.x and installed > > perl-5.8.2_5 and no crashes when manually loading the perl.so and the > > scripts.

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!
