OK. However I'm puzzled because so far as I recall I was able to install a working version of gip in the past simply by doing something like a git, etc, of gip, with no need to also fetch/add perl items. Has something changed which means that can't now work? Were the 'missing' perl items present by default in the earlier distros, but are now absent? I have simply copied across my gip from the older install. So I can understand I may have 'left behind' various other things it needs. But in the past I can't recall having to add/install other things for it to work. Is it no longer possible to simply git a version of gip and have that work without quite seperately finding the perl items? Or is my memory simply faulty?
