You've probably got multiple versions of Perl installed. You didn't say
which version of FreeBSD you're using. I'd guess 2.2.x.
What is the output of these commands,
% /usr/bin/perl -v
% /usr/local/bin/perl -v
/usr/bin/perl is probably perl 4.036 (as distributed with FreeBSD 2.2.x
systems) and /usr/local/bin/perl is probably 5.00404.
Is Gimp using /usr/bin/perl directly or searching your path?

Subject: perl version?
I compiled gimp today (1.1.3) and ran into this problem:
it warned me about perl version being older than 5.004, and indeed, when I
enter:
perl -v
I received this:

This is perl, version 4.0

but I remembered I've seen perl5 in sysinstall so i looked there and this is
what I saw (sorry about the charset, don't know how to change it to this
message):

So it looks like I have the Perl 5.004 or newer set up, do I have a thing or
two pointing to wrong direction or have I mixed to different things or what
?
Everything on gimp compilation went fine, but I found out I can't use any
other file extensions but some xfc or something, and script-fu and filters
don't work. The only big errormessage I got during configuration was this
perl
version, so i assume it's the reason. (though it could be that I'm running
2.2.6, don't lose your nerves there :)
Anything?
pls CC to me.
