xchat crasches while loading perl scripts, this occures with the standard emerged perl and any versions of xchat (have tried manual compile aswell, same result).

ugh... try rebuilding xchat.. i'm quite stumped for other solutions...
I had a similar problem a while ago, not sure if it's related but .. When xchat was built with gnome as one of the USE flags and I used xchat under KDE it would segfault on loading perl plugins. My only solution was to do: USE="-gnome" emerge xchat and xchat would work with perl plugins under KDE. Stangely when built with USE="gnome" xchat worked fine under Gnome, but not under KDE. HTH -- Troy.
peter, that help?
disabled gnome support if use perl USE flag is set.
