905 If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING
906 is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the
907 rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated
908 via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events:
909
910 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
911
912 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
913 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
914 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
915 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
916 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
917 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
918
919 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
920 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
921 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
922 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
923
924 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
925 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
926
927 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
928 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
929 "Shift-Insert".

944 perl-ext-common: *string*
945 perl-ext: *string*
946 Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default:
947 "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe.
948
949 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
950 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
951 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
952 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
953 except "selection".
954
955 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
956 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
957 for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
958 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
959 arguments to the extension.
960
961 Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
962 necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
963
964 If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
965 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
966 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
967 available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
968 instances.

975 perl-lib: *path*

979 /opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/. Due to security reasons, this resource
980 will be ignored when running setuid/setgid.
