That almost worked. Ran cpan install Image::Magick but failed on dmake. Looks like dmake is not included in ActiveState ActivePerl 5.26 and 5.28. Either ActiveState totally kluged up Perl or they failed to communicate effectively how to install modules or I just don't know how to follow the good advice provided here along with an inability to read docs. Looks like I am going to attempt switch to Strawberry Perl. Thanks again for the help everyone!
