 Pidgin [wiki:"Scripting and
 Plugins#WhydoesntmyPerlpluginshowupinthePluginsdialog" states] support for
 Perl 5.10 '''or newer''', I have 5.12 BTW, but that is the little problem
 when open plugin window:
 {{{
 (21:39:08) plugins: probing C:\Archivos de
 programa\Pidgin\plugins\perl.dll
 (21:39:08) plugins: C:\Archivos de programa\Pidgin\plugins\perl.dll is not
 loadable:
 `C:\Archivos de programa\Pidgin\plugins\perl.dll': No se puede encontrar
 el módulo especificado.
 }}}
 Workaround (very old history):
 {{{
 copy c:\Perl\bin\perl512.dll c:\Perl\bin\perl510.dll
 }}}
 The big problem is in pidgin.RPT when loading first *.pl:
 {{{

 festival.pl do not load also in Ubuntu due to missing CB functions.
 Did I miss something important, like a new Perl API?

 Removed *.pl from plugins directory to let Pidgin start for now.
