Has anyone managed to install Image::Magick under ActiveState Perl. I have version 5.20.1 and the module isn't available to install using the package manager. It doesn't seem to be available for any versions after 5.16 and that isn't available for download anymore. I have tried following the instructions on the Image Magick site but I can't find the two dlls it mentions.

ImageMagick must already be installed on your system. Done

Also, the ImageMagick source distribution for Windows 2000 is required. Got this, but not quite sure where it should be unpacked to

You must also have the nmake from the Visual C++ or J++ development environment. Got this

Copy \bin\IMagick.dll and \bin\X11.dll to a directory in your dynamic load path such as c:\perl\site\5.00502. I can't find these in the folders that the Image Magick install created

Any hints or tips would be much appreciated.
