NAME

IPC::GimpFu - interface to Gimp's script-fu server

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

This module makes it possible to communicate with Gimp's script-fu server, and also to start/stop it on the local machine.

use IPC::GimpFu;

# Fine control on a local instance:
my $gimp = IPC::GimpFu->new();
$gimp->local_start();
$gimp->run("some command");
$gimp->local_stop();

# Start locally if needed, keep running once we're done:
my $gimp = IPC::GimpFu->new({ autostart => 1 });
$gimp->run({ file => "gimp-source.scm" });
$gimp->run("some command");

# Use a remote server:
my $gimp = IPC::GimpFu->new({ server => "other-server", port => "other-port" });
$gimp->run("something else");

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Create a new object, using an anonymous hash. The following can be set this way: autostart, server, and port; autostart is only valid if server is localhost; default settings are:

* autostart => 0
* server => 'localhost'
* port => '10008'

start

Start the server...

stop

Stop the server...

run

Run a given command on the specified server, connecting on the fly if needed. Can be passed a command, or a hash with a file key:

$gimp->run("some command"); $gimp->run({ file => 'foo.scm' });

_run_cmd

Helper called from run(), dealing with a command passed as a string.

_is_localhost($server)

Tiny helper helping decide whether the specified server is localhost.
