Well, I told my lazy sysadmin to get off his butt and just do the Image Magick source install. Since I'm the lazy sysadmin in question, I went ahead and did it. Everything worked fine after that point. Where "everything" means I installed the Perlmagick from the source that came with ImageMagick rather than from the cpan available archive.

It seems the cpan archive for Image Magick is broken, becuase it doesn't contain a set of files necessary for a sucessful install.

Thanks for the response.
