$ 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 "}

Effect: urxvt opens a non-tabbed terminal window.
Expected effect: urxvt opens a tabbed terminal window.

Downgrading to perl 5.16.3-3 and rxvt-unicode 9.18-3 fixes the problem and restores correct behavior.

urxvt seg faults on my machine (x86_64), perl 5.18.0-1 and rxvt-unicode 9.18-3 if the loading of any perl extensions are attempted, even the defaults. Practically speaking, this package is broken completely after an upgrade to perl 5.18.

A work-around is to disable all perl extensions (which allow urxvt to start), but adding the following lines to .Xdefaults:

URxvt*perl-ext-common: ""
URxvt*perl-ext: ""

and running: urxvt -pe ""

Please upgrade the severity to High.

Error message:

Perl API version v5.16.0 of urxvt does not match v5.18.0
urxvt: unable to initialize perl-interpreter, continuing without.

You should be running perl 5.18.0-1 and rxvt-unicode 9.18-4 or downgrade both packages, as rxvt-unicode 9.18-4 needs perl from testing
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/rxvt-unicode&id=5464743e5c649743401b7ec493affd0c41578ba2

perl 5.18.0-1 and rxvt-unicode 9.18-3 won't work, [testing] is all or nothing.

I forgot that I disabled community-testing a few weeks ago after a particularly bad spell. I re-enabled it and things are working normally. Sorry for the noise.

ok, others perl extensions works correctly.

Please report this upstream.

Hello,

sorry to open the bug again but on official web site (Am I right with address?) http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html I didn't find where to report about bugs (only irc), so I post patch here and I'll ask about it inclusion on IRC.

The reason of the bug:
https://metacpan.org/module/RJBS/perl-5.18.0/pod/perldelta.pod#qw-...-can-no-longer-be-used-as-parentheses
   tabbed.patch (0.4 KiB)

Don't be sorry, the bug was not closed.

You coulld use the mailing list to send a patch or report issues : http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2013q2/thread.html.

It's a pretty obvious patch, but please send it upstream and I will include it.
