I have a test machine (Windows 98, local test) where I have successfully run the following syntax: 
my $rc;
my $im = Image::Magick->new();
$rc = $im->Read("../temp/test.jpg");
warn($rc), next if $rc;

....
....

my $geometry = "$newwidth_t x $newheight_t";

$rc = $im->Scale(geometry => $geometry);
warn($rc), next if $rc;

$rc = $im->Write("JPG:../thumbs/test.jpg");
warn($rc) if $rc;

When I run the above syntax on a Linux machine(shared web server), the write portion
fails with a generic 'internal server error'. In order to eliminate permission problems,
I set the thumbs directory to 777.

Does anyone have any hints as to why this may be erroring out? Or is there a way to debug the
script on the server (since my test platform, Windows 98, is different from the
server platform, Linux). Thanks.
