Everytime a terminal object gets created, scripts specified via the
+perl
resource are loaded and associated with it.
Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and +thus must be encoded as UTF-8.
+Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in rxvtd, where +scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.

+This section describes the extensiosn delivered with this version. You can +find them in /opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/.
+You can activate them like this:
++ rxvt -pe <extensionname>+
It also offers the following bindable event:
++ URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13+
+
+All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
+reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
+like. All members starting with an underscore (such as _ptr
or
+_hook
) are reserved for internal uses and MUST NOT be accessed or
+modified).
When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are +emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and +the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the +terminal is destroyed.
The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be called -whenever the relevant event happens.
+The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be +called whenever the relevant event happens.
+The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal
+and extension package. You can call all urxvt::term
methods on it, but
+its not a real urxvt::term
object. Instead, the real urxvt::term
+object that is shared between all packages is stored in the term
+member.
All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event counts as being consumed, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped, and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.

is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more

+(chr 65535
). Characters with combining characters and other characters

You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
