I'm working on perl.c  :))) I added a function
IRC::get_prefs(varname)
which allows one to get the value of varname entry in the config
file. I needed it to write  a silly perl function which tries to get
back your preferred nickname, which you can get by
IRC::get_prefs("nickname1"), if you can get it when you connect to
irc. 

I already sent the .diff file for both perl.c and cfgfiles.c (based on 
1.4.1pre2 to zed. 

What _I_ whould be interested in, is a way to access windows and menus 
from perl scripts. I got the Gtk-Perl library from CPAN, but I do not
know GTK enough :(
