Installing Image::Magick failed

On Strawberry Perl, the following command should install Image::Magick:

ppm install Image::Magick
[download]

Please let me know if it doesn't. The command might need to be tweaked if your version of Strawberry Perl is a few years old.
(For me, the installation terminates with a "cannot remove directory for ..." message. I think that's not a problem.)

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks very much. I did miss that post. Sorry. OK although I got this message: Installing C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\Image\Magick.pm cannot remove directory for C:\Users\USER\.ppm/Image-Magick-5488: Permission denied at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/PPM.pm line 490. It seemed to have worked as I ran the script again and it passed on to another error. So it looks like Magick is installed?? (I think!)	[reply]

cannot remove directory for C:\Users\USER\.ppm/Image-Magick-5488: Permission denied That's kind of strange. Have you been running some commands as Administrator and others as a normal user? It'd be best to run all the installations under a single user. So it looks like Magick is installed?? (I think!) One way to check whether a module is installed is just `perl -MModule::Name -e ""` on the command line - however, this requires that the command line has the same environment variables set as the web server (such as `PERL5LIB`). They could be different if, for example, your web server is started via a batch file that sets an environment variable, or if you have environment variables configured in your Apache configuration (e.g. `SetEnv` directives) that only the CGI scripts run by the web server see.
