When built without USE-flag fading-colors it prints this error on start: $ urxvt urxvt: perl hook 0 evaluation error: /usr/lib64/urxvt/perl/background: Bareword "urxvt::Color_fade" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib64/urxvt/perl/background line 992, <$fh> line 1. and all urxvt perl modules doesn't work. This issue wasn't exist in 9.26-r2.
Any thoughts on this, Perl people? I've got no idea how exactly embedded Perl picks up X resources.

While at it, stop defaulting to USE=perl.

I don’t think this is true. It may break some plugins, but not all of them. I hacked the ebuild to allow building with USE="-fading-colors perl". I use “Rxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher”. No errors were printed and the plugins appear to work in that URLs are clickable and mouse-click highlighting works in the different way that I expect.

I agree, the "selection" plugin works without fading-colors here as well.
OK, so are there in fact ANY Perl plug-ins bundled with rxvt-unicode other than "background" that require --enable-fading?
Yes, the url matcher plugin requires fading-colors otherwise it won't work.
