 Steps to reproduce:

 {{{
 1) autoreconf -if
 2) ./configure --enable-perl --disable-screensaver --disable-gtkspell
 3) make -j5
 4) sudo make install
 5) perl -MPurple -I/usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl -e1

 Can't load '/usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl/auto/Purple/Purple.so' for module
 Purple: /usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl/auto/Purple/Purple.so: undefined
 symbol: g_free at /usr/share/perl5/XSLoader.pm line 70.
  at /usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl/Purple.pm line 52.
 Compilation failed in require.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
 }}}

 Editing libpurple/plugins/perl/common/Makefile.PL and adding '-lglib-2.0'
 to OTHERLDFLAGS resolves the undefined reference to g_free(), but there's
 still a problem:

 {{{
 $ perl -MPidgin -I/usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl
 -I/usr/local/lib/pidgin/perl -e1
 perl: symbol lookup error:
 /usr/local/lib/purple-2/perl/auto/Purple/Purple.so: undefined symbol:
 purple_perl_callXS
 }}}
