Now, your spec is quite unspecific and vague, so don't expect too detailed hints. Look into your bash's man page for e.g. the select statement. In conjunction with the case statement and the PS3 parameter you'll get pretty close to what you want.

gimp::net
Net(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net(3)
NAME
Gimp::Net - Communication module for the gimp-perl server.
SYNOPSIS
use Gimp;
DESCRIPTION
For Gimp::Net (and thus commandline and remote scripts) to work, you first have to install the "Perl-Server" extension somewhere where Gimp
can find it (e.g in your .gimp/plug-ins/ directory). Usually this is done automatically while installing the Gimp extension. If you have a
menu entry "<Xtns"/Perl-Server> then it is probably installed.
The Perl-Server can either be started from the "<Xtns"> menu in Gimp, or automatically when a perl script can't find a running Perl-Server.
When started from within The Gimp, the Perl-Server will create a unix domain socket to which local clients can connect. If an authorization
password is given to the Perl-Server (by defining the environment variable "GIMP_HOST" before starting The Gimp), it will also listen on a
tcp port (default 10009). Since the password is transmitted in cleartext, using the Perl-Server over tcp effectively lowers the security of
your network to the level of telnet. Even worse: the current Gimp::Net-protocol can be used for denial of service attacks, i.e. crashing
the Perl-Server. There also *might* be buffer-overflows (although I do care a lot for these).
ENVIRONMENT
The environment variable "GIMP_HOST" specifies the default server to contact and/or the password to use. The syntax is [auth@][tcp/]host-
name[:port] for tcp, [auth@]unix/local/socket/path for unix and spawn/ for a private gimp instance. Examples are:
www.yahoo.com # just kidding ;)
yahoo.com:11100 # non-standard port
tcp/yahoo.com # make sure it uses tcp
authorize@tcp/yahoo.com:123 # full-fledged specification
unix/tmp/unx # use unix domain socket
password@unix/tmp/test # additionally use a password
authorize@ # specify authorization only
spawn/ # use a private gimp instance
spawn/nodata # pass --no-data switch
spawn/gui # don't pass -n switch
CALLBACKS
net()
is called after we have succesfully connected to the server. Do your dirty work in this function, or see Gimp::Fu for a better solu-
tion.
FUNCTIONS
server_quit()
sends the perl server a quit command.
get_connection()
return a connection id which uniquely identifies the current connection.
set_connection(conn_id)
set the connection to use on subsequent commands. "conn_id" is the connection id as returned by get_connection().
BUGS
(Ver 0.04) This module is much faster than it ought to be... Silly that I wondered wether I should implement it in perl or C, since perl is
soo fast.
