Installing Perl Plugin

[Omar]

• Most of the XChat builds for windows come with some form of the Perl plugin, but each one is built against a specific build of Perl, and so may not work with the version of Perl you already have installed. If that is the case, you need to do few steps.
  

1. Save the appropriate .dll to the appropriate plugin directory:

• For the official build: C:\Program Files\xchat\plugins\
  
• For Silverex: C:\Program Files\X-Chat 2\plugins\
  
• If you are on a 64 bit system, use C:\Program Files (x86)\ instead.
  

2. Rename xcperl.dll to xcperl.dll.old
3. Restart XChat.[/li][/list]

If you are running tried to load  perl addon and you receive the following message:

Cannot open perl512.dll

You must have ActivePerl 5.12 installed in order to run perl scripts.

http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/

Make sure perl's bin directory is in your PATH.

This means that XChat is expecting, as stated, ActivePerl 5.12 even the latest ActivePerl is currently 5.14, and so if you need to install the version he ask you for not the latest version.
