Image::Magick - I have tried to install this like 5 times now and fail miserably each time, although i do get just a little closer each time

I must say I have never managed to install it. Even when it works, after a clean installation of any good Linux distribution, I inevitably manage to break it when I upgrade Perl. I even suspect that I have broken it when upgrading some of the package it uses.

So now I have basically given up on it, I just use system convert ..., which always works, and I am much happier!

    I've managed to install it... several times. I thought it'd be great since I've been using ImageMagick itself lots earlier, but I never got Image::Magick to work properly. I felt it was both poorly documented, if at all, and really buggy. I also resorted to system commands, because it just works and "good enough". :) It was a while ago though, so maybe I'll give it yet another shot. Maybe.
