First, this plug-ins/perl dir seems to be overflowing with niglets.
cvs checkout
CFLAGS=... CPPFLAGS=... autogen.sh --with-mp=yes --enable-perl [--disable-nls]
Next I try a few things.
'make maintainer-clean' || 'make distclean' || 'make clean' (all results similar; follows)
...
Making maintainer-clean in perl
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/cvs/gimp/plug-ins/perl'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `maintainer-clean'. Stop.
(fresh checkout and run autogen with/without --disable-nls)

configure: error: ** unable to find glib
Correct me if I'm wrong, but why is glib-1.2 being requested when everything else is based on 2.0? Further, why is this trying to use a pre-existing installation of gimp? I don't have an install of gimp on this machine so I surely won't have either gimp .h files nor gimptool.
After compiling and installing glib-1.2:
$ perl Makefile.PL loading cache ./config.cache checking for gimp... no checking for gimptool...

FATAL: unable to deduce plugindir from gimptool script
So..I copy and symlink the as-yet-uninstalled gimptool-1.3, rm config.cache, and run perl Makefile.PL again.
It successfully builds the Makefile now but it still doesn't have the expected pre-installed header files.
So I start off on a journey of flag waving..
$ LDFLAGS="-L../../libgimp/.libs/ -L../../libgimpwidgets/.libs -L../../libgimpcolor/.libs/ -L../../libgimpmath/.libs/ -L../../libgimpbase/.libs/" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I../.. -I(insert cflags for glib)" perl Makefile.PL
(replaced with /usr/src/cvs/gimp for autogen.sh)
Now we're getting nowhere again.
