Problem starting gimp 1.2.0

[Maier Gerfried]

Hi!

I just got the gimp-1.2.0 binaries (gimp-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm,
gimp-data-extras-1.2.0-1.noarch.rpm, gimp-devel-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm,
gimp-perl-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm).

When I start gimp from the console I get many error-messages lokking
like this:
Can't locate Gimp.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503

(It seems to me that almost all the plugins are affected.)

What could be the problem?

Thanks

No Perl (or the wrong version) installed!?
