Hi
I have been trying to write text on a picture and nothing come up, I tried many style and approach.. still none. I am not sure what is wrong with it. My lucky guess will be the font, but I am not sure, perl does not return any error.

Another problem, is to position the text, the weird thing, how should I try to position text around if I could not see the text, stupid me!!!

Ok, here is sample of my code, help pleaseeeee 

use Image::Magick; 
my($image);   
$image = Image::Magick->new;
$image->Set(size=>'100x100');

$image->ReadImage('xc:white');
$text = 'Works like magick!';
$image->Annotate (font=>'tahoma.ttf', pointsize=>8, fill=>'green', tex
+t=>$text, x=>20, y=>20);

$image->Write('test.png');
