I have been unsuccessfully trying to install PerlMagick on a Windows XP machine. From previous postings it sounds as if I need to run particular versions of Perl and PerlMagick. I am hoping that someone knows how to get the current versions of Perl and PerlMagick to work together.

I receive this error: 
Can't load 'c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll' for module 
+Image::Magick: load_file:The specified module could not be f
ound at c:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

When running this script: 
use strict;

use lib ( "C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.2.2-Q16" );

 use Image::Magick;

  my($image, $x);

  $image = Image::Magick->new;
  $x = $image->Read('girl.png', 'logo.png', 'rose.png');
  warn "$x" if "$x";

  exit;

The file 'c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll' does exist. I am using this version of Perl: 
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
