Hi pcg Marc,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Tried what you suggested but still could not get it to work. Got some error message like "Cannot locate Gimp.pm at @INC .....".
The following are the exact steps i did:
1.setenv GIMP_HOST password@xxxxxxx on server box A(where the gimp, perl,gtk etc are installed);
2.start gimp perl server on server box A;
3.setenv GIMP_HOST password@xxxxxxx on client box B;
4.start the script on client box B;
I am sure that the script works fine locally on server box A and there is no firewall issue between box A and B. Any insights will be very appreicated.
TIA

Just the same, i.e. use sth. like this:
GIMP_HOST=password@xxxxxxxx
and start the server, and then do the same on the client and start the perl script. You shouldn't need to modify your script, although modifying it can make some things easier (program structure can be much freeer, as you can decide when to conenct and disconnect).
