1038If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1039is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1040manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1041C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1042
1043 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13

1045Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1046will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1047no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1048means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1049definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1050mappings themselves.
1051
1052Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1053if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1054C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1055user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1056
1057 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1058 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1059
1060The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination

1081Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to

1083
1084Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1085them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1086by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1087example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1088C<selection>.
1089
1090Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1091(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1092searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1093multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1094the extension.
1095
1096Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1097necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1098
1099If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1100interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1101B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
