Attempting installing Perl module Gimp::Fu - dependecies problem

Hello,

I'm attempting to set up a GIMP scripts for batch
operations on groups of image files. Initially I started
reading about the Script-Fu syntax but it looked too
convoluted (at least for me, with 15 years of Perl experience
at work) in a way it does the simpliest of things so I
attempted to use Perl instead of Script-Fu. From reading the
docs I see that I need to install "Gimp::Fu" Perl module.
I installed "cpan" first, started it and issued the command:

install "Gimp::Fu"

and got a dependency problem:

Code:
cpan[1]> install "Gimp::Fu"
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:30:45 GMT

  Please consider installing the Digest::SHA module.

Try the command

    i /gimpui/

to find objects with matching identifiers.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help,
kaza.

It appears that "gimpui" is not a Perl thing (i.e. it doesn't come from cpan) but it's a separate package you need on your machine, through your package manager.

You appear to be using Fedora, which I do not, so you're on your own (or wait for a Fedora user to offer assistance) as far as using the package manager. I am not familiar with it.

As a starting point, here's a whack of RPM's for this "gimpui" package:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...8gimpui-2.0%29
I have not investigated exactly what it is. A Gimp accessory/supporting package I suppose. There are Fedora 13 packages on that page near the bottom.

Perhaps after installing this (and assuming you already have Gimp installed), then Gimp::Fu will compile & install.

Oh, and probably wise to heed this advice:

Thanks!

I attempted "yum install gimpui" but the package wasn't
known (I'm still running FC11, I know it's old, I'll
have to find time to switch to FC13).
Meanwhile I managed to write the batch script
in "ScriptFu" so at least I have something
to get the task done.

kaza.
