		1067	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1068	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)

		1080
		1081	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1082	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
