problem with standalone perl script

Hi,
I have a standalone perl script which used to work fine with older versions of gimp, but now for some reason with 2.8 at least, when I call "exit main;" the on_run callback is never triggered.

I decided to test it another way, by making it a plugin, but when i run gimp -b '(myplugin RUN-NONINTERACTIVE)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)', i see the following:

"Cannot call 'main::gimp_procedural_db_dump' at this time..."

I suspect its something to do with the socket connection to gimp server. gimp_procedural_db_dump() is the first command called.

Testing in standalone mode, I see gimp is being run: /usr/bin/gimp-2.8 --no-splash --console-messages -i -b (extension-perl-server 1 3 5) (gimp-quit 0)
and:

/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu -gimp 6 4 -run 0

but doing an strace on the script-fu, it is hanging on:

select(1024, [6], NULL, NULL, NULL

fd 6 is pipe:[1004351], which is the same as fd 7 for the gimp server.

doing an strace on the gimp server shows it is basically doing nothing.

O/S is fedora 17.

Any ideas ?

Regards, Salsaman.

I'm surprised it even works at all with the 2.8 version of GIMP. I haven't tried building the gimp-perl module for GIMP in quite some time as I've been busy on other projects. The gimp-perl code is ugly and really needs a complete overhaul/rewrite.

I can't compile gimp-perl right now as I haven't re-installed some of the needed perl modules since I moved to Linux Mint. I will have a look at the state of gimp-perl and GIMP 2.8 in the future. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it as I won't be doing much with it any time soon.

Cheers!

Kevin.
