+You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
+\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
+rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
+.Sp
+If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
+identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
+\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
+example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
+this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
+.Ve
+.Sp
+This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
+extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
+scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
+other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:

 .IP "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?" 4
 .IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
 I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
 bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
 that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
 memory.
 .Sp
 Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
 still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
 (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
-43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half aminute of
+43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
 startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
 extremely well *g*.
 .IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
 .IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
 Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
 one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
 \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
 encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).

+interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
 .Sp
 Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
 systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
-ptys, but some need it for utmp support). If rxvt-unicode doesn't support
+ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into

 .Sp
 So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your
 typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that
 its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues
 regularly.

 .IP "\-\-disable\-resources" 4
 .IX Item "--disable-resources"
 Removes any support for resource checking.
-.IP "\-\-enable\-xgetdefault" 4
-.IX Item "--enable-xgetdefault"
-Make resources checking via \fIXGetDefault()\fR instead of our small
-version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist then
-~/.Xresources.
-.Sp
-Please note that nowadays, things like \s-1XIM\s0 will automatically pull in and
-use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it might be very
-small, if nonexistant.
 .IP "\-\-enable\-strings (default: off)" 4
 .IX Item "--enable-strings (default: off)"
 Add support for our possibly faster \fImemset()\fR function and other
 various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
 have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
