✨ ABSTRACT ✨

Okay so the abstract is giving very clear: this module provides the interface for using perl scripts as plugins in Pidgin, with access to the Pidgin Gtk interface functions. That's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So real talk: this module is 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. Your script can interact with IMs, chats, accounts, the buddy list, pidgin signals, and more. It's literally main character energy for your Pidgin setup 💅

The API for the perl interface is very similar to that of the Pidgin C API, which can be viewed at http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/ or in the header files in the Pidgin source tree. No cap, that's where the lore lives 👑
