Perl is installed and Pidgin's library support gives the following output:
Library Support
     Cyrus SASL: Enabled
     Gadu-Gadu library (libgadu): Internal
     GtkSpell: Enabled
     GnuTLS: Disabled
     Network Security Services (NSS): Enabled
     Perl: Disabled
     Tcl: Disabled
     Tk: Disabled

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Though I have to say that I'm not using perl plugins with Pidgin, nor do 
I plan to write one.
