 Building your own plugins:
 --------------------------
 
+- Originally, plugins for collectd had to be written in C and linked as shared
+  objects. Starting with version 4.0.0, it is also possible to use plugins
+  written in the scripting language Perl or implemented as separate processes.
+  See section "SPECIAL PLUGINS" in collectd(1) for details.
