402 There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the Xresource
403 data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
404 reader (~/.Xdefaults). For the first method (ie. rxvt -h lists
405 XGetDefaults), you can set and change the resources using X11 tools like 420 You can set and change the resources using X11 tools like xrdb. Many

416 If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h lists 431 Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two class names:
417 .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in 432 Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt
418 XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually 433 and the original *rxvt* to be easily configured, while the class name
419 /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults, or 434 URxvt allows resources unique to rxvt, to be shared between different
420 ~/.Xresources if ~/.Xdefaults does not exist. Note that when reading X
421 resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: XTerm and URxvt. The class
422 name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt and the original *rxvt*
423 to be easily configured, while the class name URxvt allows resources
424 unique to rxvt, notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between

921 perl: *string* 952 perl-ext: *string*
922 Used by perl extension and is free for any use, as it is not 953 Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default:
923 interpreted by rxvt-unicode itself; option perl. 954 "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe.
955
956 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
957 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
958 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
959 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
960 except "selection".
961
962 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
963 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
964 for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
965 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
966 arguments to the extension.
967
968 Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
969 necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
970
971 If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
972 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
973 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
974 available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
975 instances.
