You did not specify, how you install Gimp, so it is difficult to recommend a suitable solution. Usual install scripts return a non-zero exit code, which you might want to catch. Others might output something to stderr to indicate failure, so you can evaluate this.

> Not sure if this statement is supported on the ActivePerl I wouldn't call __END__ a "statement", but ... yes, it is Perl standard, and works well with ActiveState Perl too.

You posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is intended for Perl problems, so you probably won't get much help. As of your problem, I would do a perror to get more information.

(Crossposting note: I have already posted this article on comp.lang.tcl on the 3 days ago. This is posted here again, because I didn't get any response on my original article so far). I use the following script on Solaris to log into a remote host: spawn ssh other@[exec uname -n] expect {$}...

Writing the prompt to STDOUT doesn't make much sense to me. In General, STDIN/STDOUT won't be connected to a terminal.
