OSX Snow Leopard : cpan Gimp fails, please help

Rudif has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks of the OSX persuasion

A newcomer to OSX, I tried to install Gimp.pm and I failed, see the transcrip below.

Would someone know what is my problem (and the solution) ?

Would someone know what is my problem (and the solution) ? The problem and solution are written in the transcript. It might not matter, since the module is really old. You might have better luck with http://search.cpan.org/~sjburges/Gimp-2.2pre1/	[reply]

Thank you, Brother Anonymous. It looks like I had better learn Scheme and go the way of Script-Fu. Rudif	[reply]
