Well according to the installed docu.. there is supposed to be:

From the `Usage' html page: (Note the last item)

Now run bbgallery to create the galleries. Without any parameters it
will use the following default values:

   * Look for images in the default directory
   * Create index pages with up to 25 thumbnails
   * Have up to five thumbnails in one row
   * Use Gallery as title for the index pages
   * Be quiet. Don't produce any output on SDTOUT
   * Delay pages in the slide show for 15 seconds
   * Create links to the meta index
   * Thumbnails are scalled to 100 pixels
   * Images are scaled to 800 pixels
   * Short descriptions in the index page
   * The default template will be used

I believe my troubles are arising from the fact that a required
package (Gimp::Module) is not present on my system.  It appears to be
the tool that creates the templates.

So far I've been unsuccessfull installing it via cpan as reported in
previous post.

emerge gimp-perl

On the templates, I think the missing "default" template is an installation error. I looked thru the perl script and did not see any special handling for "default". The $P{template} is just initialized to 'default'. On
http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/templates.html, only two templates are
mentioned, monochrome and oldstyle.  Then some instruction on how to modify
the templates.  My guess is the author intends for you to link
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default to your preferred template.  Example:

ln -s /usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default /usr/lib/bbgallery/template/monochrome

In summary the ebuild is probably missing the gimp-perl dependency
and performing the default template link.
