Gimp::ScriptFu::Client 1.01

Gimp::ScriptFu::Client is a Perl client for the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Gimp::ScriptFu::Client acts as a source filter in a Scheme script that uses Text::Template to preprocess any embedded Perl fragments contained between { } brackets before sending the resulting Scheme to a Gimp Script-Fu server. Each Perl fragment may or may not produce a Scheme fragment.
The Scheme script becomes a standalone client application.

This permits using Perl for getting parameters from the real world or for generating complex Scheme expressions, that would be more difficult or impossible with plain Scheme.

It also makes it possible to do Perlish things with Gimp if you cant do the compiler stuff for Gimp/Gimp::Fu for your OS. All recent Gimp versions include the Script-Fu server.
