--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Perl API are missing obvious functionalities. In the last few days I
 worked on a Perl plugin and discovered that while
 Purple::BuddyList::Node::get_string is available, no setting function for
 strings it is exported.

 Moreover Purple::BuddyList::Buddy is not a subclass of
 Purple::BuddyList::Node.
 I'm not really proficient with Perl, but this patch should take care of
 this http://welker.hu/~flaktack/purple-perl/purple-perl-blist-node-
 inheritance.patch

 Please also check the other patches available from flaktack (most of them
 make sense to me).
