I'll do that shortly (upgrade) and see what I get. It's also been my
experience that, other than a deeply nested debugger bug I found
(which was immediately fixed) back in '96, Perl is generally Not The
Problem.

I've got that in. The args passed in seem correct, and for other
(similar) fu's things work well. I'll see if the upgrade does the trick.

Yeah, that seems fishy to me too -- something fundamental enough to
cause this sort of problem would presumably break umpteen other
things.

Hm. Will dig over them with a finer-toothed comb. The same
script-fu's do work perfectly interactively so it's still presumably a
perl-fu<->script-fu interaction problem, and my #1 tactic is going to
be to do the gimp upgrade to see if that fixes the hoodoo.
Thanks
