1085Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to

1087
1088Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1089them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1090by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1091example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1092C<selection>.
1093
1094Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1095(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1096searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1097multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1098the extension.
1099
1100Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1101necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1102
1103If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1104interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1105B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
