[Gimp-user] Gimp.pm??

[Desmond Rivet <des_riv@sympatico.ca>]

Hi all,

My version of the GIMP actually works, so I guess there's no urgency
here, but I'm still a little curious about something.

I have Redhat7.1, and Gimp 1.2.1. when I start Gimp from the command
line I get the following messages:

<begin crap>

Can't locate Gimp.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/Perl-Server
line 19.

/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/Perl-Server line 19.

LibGimp-WARNING **: gimp: wire_read: unexpected EOF

line 21.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/animate_cells line 21.

<end crap>

And on and on and on. Then the Gimp will start and work fine.

So I guess my question is: what the heck is Gimp.pm? What is a pm file?
What's a wire_read? And why should there be an unexpected EOF in said
wire_read?

Thank you for your time. Any help is appreciated :)
