Package: libgimp-perl
Version: 2.0.dfsg-4
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
any example using libgimp-perl fails with a "protocol error" message, as
shown in 2 other bug reports.
Gimp/Config.pm contains a line:
GIMP => q[],
Net/Net.pm contains:
exec $Gimp::Config{GIMP},
Both do not go well together apparently. Either the GIMP line should be
fixed, or the environment should be querried at some point to look for
gimp. The easiest way around I have found is this:

I must however warn you that I know nothing about either perl or gimp, so
you might want to check it. For me it seems to allow the examples in
/usr/share/doc/libgimp-perl/examples to work properly again (by the way,
these examples should look for perl in /usr/bin and not /opt/bin).
