In MDV 2007, irssi no longer supports perl scripts. There is no /script command and none of my scripts in ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun get loaded. I had to install from the tarball on irssi.org. Why kill this?

because they are evil.

I just discovered that I can do:

/load perl

(I think that is the right module name)
and I get my scripts back, but I still have one script that uses Irssi::IRC that doesn't work (It can't load the module because of an 'undefined symbol').

so, anyway, why doesn't the perl module get loaded automagically, like it used to?

ok...but seriously. is perl installed be default on mandriva? if it is, i can't imagine why they wouldn't enable it be default...

It should be since MCC is written in Perl\GTK.

Just install package irssi-perl in case you can't just /load perl :)
