gimp-perl autoamatically starts up a gipm if it can't find a server. You cna
use
use Gimp 'spawn_options=gui';
to force it to open a gui-session.
You can also use the commandline-tool "gimp-remote" which uses some hacks
to contact an already running gimp to load an image and works superbly,
but it of course rquires a running gimp (but no perl).

Hmm... I don't know.
