When you try to load the perl interface, the following error is displayed. /usr/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Iperl_destruct_level_ptr I'm almost 100% positive this is due to the new version of perl being installed, and even though xchat was re-emerged, it still doesn't like it, so there has been some sort of API change I'm guessing. This happened with xchat-2.0.3 as well.

hmm .. the perl plugin seems to work for me for 2.0.4. are you sure your sys-devel/libperl is up to date?
no activity here? -march=k6-2 is not safe to use. please use -march=i686 or -mcpu=k6-2 instead and you probably should emerge perl libperl and xchat again, that is probably related: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24379 if that still doesn't work, then paste output of emerge info.
Are you sure this is because of a compiler flag? I haven't had other issues with -march=k6-2, except on much older versions of GCC. The problem started with the new version of perl. Can you tell me what other issues might be related to the k6-2 compiler flag? Can you verify that recent versions of xchat load the perl module when the perl version is perl-5.8.0-r12 ?? The undefined symbol looks more like an API change than a compiler bug, at least to me. I want to be absolutely sure will work before compiling perl again. Thats a bit time consuming on a k6-2 !!
i've got perl-5.8.0-r12 and libperl-5.8.0 with xchat-2.0.4 and my perl plugin loads up fine without any problems. Tcl plugin for XChat - Version 1.0.42 Copyright 2002-2003 Daniel P.

*** Bug 29755 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I posted the bug-29755, so I have same problem. after reading this bug, I've re-emerge libperl, then it works again. I don't know what's the reason, however.
perl team : any clue why rebuilding libperl would help so we can close this issue ? Maybe leftovers from an old build in some way ?
sorry, I just think, "remerge then what will happen?" , and it works. It's all. and I didnt left the old one's emerge info.. so It's now X-file :-)
Got the same problem, re-emerge perl and xchat and do not work. Later unmerge and emerge again libperl, perl and xchat and now it works.

doesn't look like the perl guys can shed some light on this (?) Closing as WORKSFORME, becuase it can't be reproduced.
