FYI. On Windows XP, Pidgin 2.5.2 - ActivePerl 5.10 - TwitterStatus v 0.3.0

Run 'ppm' from windows command line, then click "show all modules" and install TimeDate as well as XML::XPath using the gui. For some reason I couldn't get them to install correctly via CPAN.

same problem as others with Ubuntu 8.04 and Pidgin 2.5.0 I've got the file in /usr/lib/pidgin and in ~/.purple/pidgin/plugins and it does not show up in the plugin list. I had to create the plugins folder in ~/.purple/pidgin folder

Key here was this bit: You should install version 5.10 (x86) unless you have a Pidgin version less than 2.5.0 and are on Windows: then you should install Perl 5.8 (x86). It is important that you install the x86 (32-bit) version because the x64 (64-bit) version will not work with Pidgin, which is 32-bit.

Since I was on Pidgin 2.5.1, I had to have Perl 5.10.

2008-10-01T02:33:00.000+05:30

I installed ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 824 (as opposed to 5.10) on Windows and installed NMake as advised in the posts above, but Perl is still listed as disabled in Pidgin. Any ideas?

I really only see Twitter as a glorified status update, so I'd really love these to all be in sync. This plugin would be perfect :C

Only problem is - it also updates your status with your replies to other peoples tweets as well. Sorta a deal breaker.

I actually got this working under Ubuntu, kind of, it wasn't working for me earlier, because I wasn't installing XML::XPath with sudo, that solved my issue. But it doesn't seem to update my status though, when it does the it only lasts for a few seconds and reverts to not having a status.

2008-08-03T04:51:00.000+05:30

Outstanding... :) I tried putting the plugin code in several places, and no joy. I even placed it in /usr/lib/purple-2 where Debian stuck a bunch of other plugins I installed as a package. Nope.

So ~/.purple/plugins did not work, neither did /etc/purple/plugins (where I also found plugins!)

So maybe there is something we can do?

I would point out I had to install nmake (on winxp) in the perl directory (e.g.: c:\perl\) to able to compile XML::XPath.

Ben,
Thanks for the input. Pidgin 2.4.1 seems to have some issues with Perl 5.10 in Windows.

See this link: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin#Perl5.8

Unless the bug discussed there is solved, you will have to use Perl 5.8 in Windows.

2008-04-22T15:33:00.000+05:30

I had trouble getting Perl enabled in Pidgin 2.4.1, because i'd downloaded ActivePerl 5.10 instead of ActivePerl 5.8. After reinstalling ActivePerl with the slightly older version, all was well!
