Hi all,

This is a weird issue I can't find how to work around...

rxvt-unicode with tabs no longer provides tabs, but a perl syntax
error instead...

I'm so used to the tabs, I really miss them, :-)

Perhaps someone is familiar with the error...

See below...

Thanks,

Javier.

When calling tabbed urxvt, it no longer provides the tabs, but instead
the following error:

urxvt: perl hook 0 evaluation error: /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed:
syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed line 406, near "$hook
qw(start destroy key_press property_notify)"
syntax error at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed line 426, near "}
}"

When looking at /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed, the failing piece of code is:

package urxvt::ext::tabbed::tab;
# helper extension implementing the subwindows of a tabbed terminal.
# simply proxies all interesting calls back to the tabbed class.
{
   for my $hook qw(start destroy key_press property_notify) {
      eval qq{
         sub on_$hook {
            my \$parent = \$_[0]{term}{parent}
               or return;
            \$parent->tab_$hook (\@_)
         }
      };
      die if $@;
   }
}

sub on_add_lines {
  $_[0]->{activity}++
     or $_[0]{term}{parent}->tab_activity ($_[0]);
  ()
}

When reading implicit variables in perl, I usually get lost...  I
don't understand what the block {} before the on_add_lines method is,
neither the final () on the on_add_lines method.

A bit cryptic for me, so it's hard to find a work around for me, :-)
