Installing Gimp Perl

Today I'm installing Gimp
Perl under Debian Linux.
The first step is to find
out what package to install:

aptitude search gimp

The above command lists the
following package:

p libgimp-perl - Perl support and plugins for The GIMP

The next thing I wish to do
is to find out if libgimp-perl
is installed. To do this, I type:

aptitude show libgimp-perl

The output from the above command
tells me that it is not installed.
Here are the first 2 lines of output:

Package: libgimp-perl
State: not installed

Next, I install the package:

aptitude install libgimp-perl

I now run aptitude show again
to see if libgimp-perl has
installed successfully.

aptitude show libgimp-perl

The first 2 lines of output tell
me libgimp-perl has been successfully
installed

Package: libgimp-perl
State: installed

I've never used libgimp-perl
before. I think I'll study this
tutorial to get me started:
