I just had a look at the two plug-ins for fun of it and they doing part of the problem differently, which means that the perl program looks more complicated than necessarry. The scheme plugin uses the plug-in plug-in-colors-channel-mixer to do the actual color mixing, whereas the perl plug-in accesses the pixels itself. Accessing pixels always gets dirty, because of the tile based approach of gimp. Actually, I think that Marc Lehmann's use of PDL for the job is very elegant. But I'm sure that it can be confusing to have to learn another huge sublanguage (which PDL is).
So if you want to compare syntax, please compare the same approach in the different languages. I'm curious, does the python plug-in allow you to access the pixels?
