Hello again Monks,
I am trying to run the program below (make_thumbnail.pl) from the command line.

perl make_thumbnail.pl -dir thumb ezwindow.gif
The "thumb" directory is created when I call the script.
Image::Magic Version : 5.47 Perl Version 5.008
Then I get these errors...any ideas..Thanks

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Image::Magik" (perhaps y
+ou forgot
        to load "Image::Magik"?) at make_thumbnail.pl line 22 (#1)
    (F) You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be
    found. Perl looks for the file in all the locations mentioned in @
+INC,
    unless the file name included the full path to the file.  Perhaps 
+you
    need to set the PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say w
+here
    the extra library is, or maybe the script needs to add the library
+ name
    to @INC.  Or maybe you just misspelled the name of the file.  See
    perlfunc/require and lib.
    
Uncaught exception from user code:
        Can't locate object method "new" via package "Image::Magik" (p
+erhaps you forgot to load "Image::Magik"?) at make_thumbnail.pl line 
+22.
