1084Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to

1086
1087Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1088them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1089by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1090example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1091C<selection>.
1092
1093Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1094(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1095searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1096multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1097the extension.
1098
1099Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1100necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.

1102If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1103interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
