Hi,

I'm developing a Perl plugin for Pidgin, which uses embedding Perl as an plugin interpretor.ÂÂ

For now, my plugin keep crashing Pidgin(more precisely, crashing Perl) when I try to "require/use Gtk2" module.

Did you follow the instructions here: http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/perl-howto.html ?
It is mentioned there that Gtk2 can be loaded but it has to be done with "require Gtk2;".

I tried a long time ago to write a Gaim plugin in Perl and I had to revert to C as the language for the plugin. From what I remember writing a Perl plugin was quite easy but the Perl API didn't had access to all the Gaim/Pidgin API (that's why I had to use C).
