396 | If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h lists |
431 | Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: |
397 | .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in |
432 | Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt |
398 | XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
433 | and the original *rxvt* to be easily configured, while the class name |
399 | /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults, or |
434 | URxvt allows resources unique to rxvt, to be shared between different |
400 | ~/.Xresources if ~/.Xdefaults does not exist. Note that when reading X |
|
|
401 | resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: XTerm and URxvt. The class |

402 | name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt and the original *rxvt* |

952 | perl-ext: *string* |
|
|
953 | Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: |
|
|
954 | "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe. |
|
|
955 | |
|
|
956 | Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using |
|
|
957 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions |
|
|
958 | loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource. |
|
|
959 | For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension |
|
|
960 | except "selection". |
|
|
961 | |
|
|
962 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle |
|
|
963 | brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey |
|
|
964 | for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same |
|
|
965 | extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple |
|
|
966 | arguments to the extension. |
|
|
967 | |
|
|
968 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
969 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
|
|
970 | |
|
|
971 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|
|
972 | interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is |
|
|
973 | that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be |
|
|

|
|
975 | instances. |
