perl 5.18.0-1 and urxvt 9.18-4 break tabbedex

After upgradin perl and urxvt, tabbedex is not working any more.
This is the error I get:

urxvt: perl hook 0 evaluation error: /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex: syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex line 702, near "$hook qw(osc_seq_perl start destroy user_command key_press property_notify add_lines)"
syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex line 714, near "}

and this is the offending piece of code:

{
   for my $hook qw(osc_seq_perl start destroy user_command key_press property_notify add_lines) {
      eval qq{ 
         sub on_$hook {
            my \$parent = \$_[0]{term}{parent}
               or return;
            \$parent->tab_$hook (\@_)
         }
      };
      die if $@; 
   }
}

I have no perl skills, I hope someone can give me a hand.
Thank you!

Re: perl 5.18.0-1 and urxvt 9.18-4 break tabbedex

The line numbers in tabbedex's git HEAD indicate it's changed from the version you're using.  Might be worth trying urxvt-tabbedex-git from AUR?

Re: perl 5.18.0-1 and urxvt 9.18-4 break tabbedex

I get a similar error with the tabbed extension for the urxvt from the repos:

$ urxvtc -pe tabbed
urxvt: perl hook 0 evaluation error: /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed: syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt
syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed line 426, near "}

The file in question has only 423 lines ;P

Edit: Opened a bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35420

You are right I was using a modified version of /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex.
Now, I switched to urxvt-tabbedex-git (AUR) and the error persists.

urxvt: perl hook 0 evaluation error: /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex: syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex line estroy user_command key_press property_notify add_lines)"
syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex line 681, near "}

The funny thing is:

$ wc -l /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex
678 /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbedex

@Karol and others who use tabbed:
I found the source of the problem:
see here
https://metacpan.org/module/RJBS/perl-5 … arentheses
after applying simple patch to 'tabbed' I have working urxvt with tabbed extension.

Thanks, lomov_vl! :-)
The tabbed file in question is /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed (just in case somebody got a bit confused ... like me ;P ).

Thank you!

It worked for tabbedex and other variants too.
