Thanks for your help. I installed the packages and then tried to install Gimp: . It failed tests 19-20 & 25-26 and exited without installing. I'm getting a feeling that it's just a bridge too far. dgd

<lePetitSarcasm> it not possible module not updated since 2001 not pass all test, sacre bleu </lePetitSarcasm>

It appears you're ahead of the game, you got the module to compile

I say try the examples, and if they do what they say they're doing , go ahead and install, and run with it

update: Or try http://search.cpan.org/~sjburges/Gimp/
