how can I load perl plugin??

In weechat type: /plugin load perl

Did you compile weechat yourself? Check out that all dependencies are installed (especially perl-dev):

[flashcode]

If you installed binary package, check that package weechat-plugins is installed (this package contains perl plugin).

Works for me, closing the issue.

For anyone coming across this: I had to install weechat-perl (and weechat-python and whichever you need) to fix the issue.

@ward: The package weechat-plugins has been split into 9 packages in V2.0. He was talking about V1.8.
