I'm a regular user of GIMP in the office and have noticed that it only comes with scheme or python for automation/batch scripts. I've read that perl was once upon a time included. I've scoured the internet looking for guides and information but am finding posts and pages from over 10 years ago which are massively out of date. Is there a modern guide anywhere that can talk me through installing it (if it's still even possible)?

I want to try my hand at perl and translate some of the scheme and python scripts I've written. I know it still works with Imagemagick and excel so I can re-write some of my powershell 7 and bash scripts.

Technically I don't need to do any of this but for some unknown reason I want to give perl a try 😀
