Here is an interesting thing. I configured CPAN ./CPAN and then installed the CPAN bundle. This action installed a bunch of other supporting modules .Once CPAN was working I installed Eliza.pm from the CPAN shell. After that I was able to get the plug in I created for gaim working. although I still get the same error if I run the perl script from shell. The scripts are meant to be called from GAIM. So.... finally it seems to be working. Although I am having a heck of a time figuring out what the callbacks are supposed to do , nothing happens when I add in the code from DOXYGEN. If you want to see if you can get it going. Go to http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/perl-howto.html copy the script and save to location /home/yourusername/.gaim/plugins You will have to create the plugins directory first, as per the website. If you are lucky it will work. It took me many days, and I am still not sure what made the difference, same script ???????... If anyone out there has a simple little script that works with callbacks and does something please send me that code. I am working at getting a Tk window to open up. This is fun and very doable.
