1029If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1030is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1031manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1032C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1033
1034 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1035
1036Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1037will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1038no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1039means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1040definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1041mappings themselves.
1042
1043Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1044if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1045C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1046user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1047
1048 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1049 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1050
1051The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1052of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for

1074
1075Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1076them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1077by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1078example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1079C<selection>.
1080
1081Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1082(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1083searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1084multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1085the extension.
1086
1087Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1088necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1089
1090If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1091interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
