Which perl bits are you missing?  All i needed was a newer version of 
Gtk-Perl from here:
http://search.cpan.org/author/LUPUS/Gtk-Perl-0.7008/

building was as simple as following the INSTALL instructions.

Anyhoo, i've got these 5 1.0GB VOB files that were ripped from a DVD. 
What format are they?  I could prolly have mjpegtools take a whack at 
them, if i had any clue of what they were.
