Thank you for your answer. I only can say that I cannot reproduce this
anymore with VLC 2.x although as you wrote it might be related to
something different.

Could you close this bug appropriately please. The only VLC plugins I
have installed are `vlc-plugin-notify` and `vlc-plugin-pulse` which do
not seem to depend on Perl either. I am not sure how to check for the
Qt4 UI plugins. Therefore I am not sure if this bug should be closed and
marked as resolved with version 2.x or if it should be closed as a non
bug or if it should be left open.


Thanks,

Paul
