.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in Pidgin,
with access to the Pidgin Gtk interface functions. With this, developers can
write perl scripts that can be loaded in Pidgin as plugins. The script can
interact with IMs, chats, accounts, the buddy list, pidgin signals, and more.
.PP
The \s-1API\s0 for the perl interface is very similar to that of the Pidgin C \s-1API,\s0
which can be viewed at http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/ or in the header files
in the Pidgin source tree.
