Why X-Perl UnitFrames is Essential

X-Perl became the dominant unit frame addon through the WotLK and Cataclysm eras because it offered everything in one package: attractive 3D portraits for immersion, functional raid frames for healers, and enough configuration to satisfy power users. It remains popular on private servers where players want a battle-tested, full-featured frame solution.

Supported Expansions

X-Perl UnitFrames is available for Cataclysm, WotLK, MoP, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install X-Perl UnitFrames

Extract all X-Perl modules into your AddOns folder. Type /xperl to access the full configuration panel. Start with the player and target frame settings, then customize party and raid frames to your role's needs.

Installing X-Perl UnitFrames on a private server

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Install steps

  1. Download the X-Perl UnitFrames build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/X-PerlUnitFrames/X-PerlUnitFrames.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable X-Perl UnitFrames, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
