 Perl support generates most of the problems. There's quite a many
 things that can go wrong:
 
- - Compiling fails if you compile irssi with GCC in a system that has
-   perl compiled with some other C compiler. Very common problem with
-   non-Linux/BSD systems. You'll need to edit src/perl/*/Makefile files
-   and remove the parameters that gcc doesn't like. Mostly you'll just
-   need to keep the -I and -D parameters and add -fPIC.
  - If there's any weird crashing at startup, you might have older irssi's
    perl libraries installed somewhere, and you should remove those.
- - Dynamic libraries don't want to work with some systems, so if your
-   system complains about some missing symbol in Irssi.so file, configure
-   irssi with --with-perl-staticlib option (NOT same as --with-perl=static).
- - If configure complains that it doesn't find some perl stuff, you're
+ - If meson complains that it doesn't find some perl stuff, you're
    probably missing libperl.so or libperl.a. In debian, you'll need to do
    apt-get install libperl-dev
- - For unprivileged home directory installations, you probably do not want 
-   to specify --with-perl-lib=(site|vendor). Instead, you can use the 
-   default perl installation target (below the irssi prefix). If you are
-   using local::lib you can also choose to install there by specifying
-   --with-perl-lib=$PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT/lib/perl5
 
 You can verify that the perl module is loaded and working with "/LOAD"
 command. It should print something like:
 
 Module               Type    Submodules
 ...
-perl                 static  core fe

 Getting perl scripting to work needs a few things:
 
- - configure with --with-perl-staticlib

- - libperl.dll is required in linking and running irssi, it's normally
