NAME
       scm2perl - convert script-fu to perl

SYNOPSIS
        scm2perl filename.scm...


DESCRIPTION
       This program tries to convert Script-Fu (Scheme) scripts
       written for The Gimp into a Perl script.

       Don't expect too much from this version. To run it, you
       need the Parse::RecDescent module from CPAN.

CONVERSION TIPS
       PDB functions returning arrays

       Perl knows the length of arrays, Script-Fu doesn't. Func-
       tions returning single arrays return them as a normal perl
       array, Functions returning more then one array return it
       as an array-ref. Script-Fu (and the converted script)
       expect to get a length argument and then the arguments.
       Each occurrence (common ones are "gimp_list_images" or
       "gimp_image_get_layers") must be fixed by hand.
