I get the same on redhat-9.

I also had problems compiling the Gtk-Perl module, this was resolved
by building like so:

    perl Makefile.PL --without-guessing

I found Helmut's code much easier to read when I realised that he
used 4-space tabs rather than 8.

I wrote a panorama library in Perl nearly two years ago:

    http://bugbear.blackfish.org.uk/~bruno/Image-Panorama/
    http://bugbear.blackfish.org.uk/~bruno/Image-RGBA/

It does all the same remapping stuff that panorama tools does (plus
some stuff that it doesn't), though it is far too slow for practical
use.

It needs some re-organisation since I made a couple of basic design
mistakes.  If I ever get around to doing this, a friend has offered
to port it to C++ which would be interesting.
