That's a nice oneliner! :-)

I get some 3700 lines of output listing almost the entire
perl tree of 81 mb's & 5000 files, all under /usr/lib/perl5
and including every .pm I have ever seen or thought
possible.

I 'think' there may be an installation problem. I really
don't understand why perl can't 'find' what's only a couple
of planks from where it's at.  Here's the perl lib tree

/usr/lib/perl5/
     5.10.0
       nothing gimp

     site_perl
       5.10.0
         nothing gimp

     vendor_perl
       5.10.0
         nothing gimp

       5.8.8
         i586-linux-thread-multi
            Gimp
               bunch of .pm's

            Gimp.pm

In this case it may be an attempt to differentiate between
the 1.x gimp series and 2.x and also to bring the naming
scheme closer to what it's supposed to. Looks like
essentially similar stuff in the packages.
