Perhaps, try a new ~/.xchat2 again to see if it helps? A little update on the autoloading of the perl interface in xchat2: I received a private email today that suggested that I try unchecking the option "No server list on startup" and the perl interface would autoload. It didn't quite work out that way for me, but if I *check* the option "No server list on startup". I get the "Perl interface loaded" when xchat2 starts up. FWIW, I copied the .xchat2 directory to .xchat2-works and fiddled with the "No server list on startup" setting so that it didn't autoload perl, then compared the two directories: $ diff -ruN .xchat2 .xchat2-works diff -ruN .xchat2/xchat.conf .xchat2-works/xchat.conf --- .xchat2/xchat.conf Mon Jun 14 12:14:44 2004 +++ .xchat2-works/xchat.conf Mon Jun 14 12:13:38 2004 @@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ gui_mode_buttons = 0 gui_slist_edit = 1 gui_slist_select = 70 -gui_slist_skip = 0 +gui_slist_skip = 1 gui_throttlemeter = 3 gui_topicbar = 1 gui_ulist_buttons = 1 I've not dug into it further but it looks like that option is triggering some bug. At least its a point that may be able to duplicate the behavior that I was seeing.
