Comment(by deryni):

 I don't believe the intention was to prevent perl.so from being unloaded
 (or the existing comment would be rather strange), I believe the issue was
 with perl symbols not being available to the perl plugin or some-such
 issue. I think the issue was that libpurple was loading plugins with
 G_MODULE_BIND_LOCAL and this was causing symbol problems with the perl.so
 symbols or something like that. I really don't remember.
