Description Dan Reidy 2008-03-09 00:15:16 UTC 
net-im/pidgin-* with the USE="perl" flag should have a runtime depend on dev-perl/glib-perl. Without it the perl-module Purple will not load and requires the user to research the problem. It should "just work".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="perl" emerge -va --reinstall changed-use net-im/pidgin
2. perl -MPurple -ne '{ print "hello world" }'
3. perl -MGlib -MPurple -ne '{ print "hello" }'

Actual Results:  
(step 2)
Can't load '/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Purple/Purple.so' for module Purple: /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Purple/Purple.so: undefined symbol: g_str_hash at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XSLoader.pm line 70.



Expected Results:  
"Hello World"

you can't use the module outside of pidgin.. you have to load the modules from pidgin...
