Comment (by darkfoxprime):

 I just tried this and ran into the same issue.

 (15:46:30) plugins: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\plugins\perl.dll is not
 loadable: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\plugins\perl.dll': Invalid access
 to memory location.

 This is using strawberry perl 5.10.1.5, since there is no reputable place
 from which to download activeperl 5.10 without paying $1000 to activestate
 (or trusting the safety and legality of a random executable download from
 the mentioned plugin site).

 Any update on what's going on, or is perl for pidgin dead?
