<p>* Put your scripts into <em>/opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl-ext/</em>, they will be loaded automatically.</p> |

| 42 |

globally.</p> |

<p>* Scripts are evaluated in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and |

thus must be encoded as UTF-8.</p> |

<p>All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event |
