Re: ImageMagick on the webhost

convert (usually written with lowercase "c") is a binary that uses the ImageMagick libraries. Image::Magick, what you are refering to, is a Perl module. Assuming that you are on some *NIX system, you could always try the following, to see what a file exactly is:

$ file /home/myname/lib/convert
[download]

To make sure that Image::Magick -the module- is around, just hit:

$ locate Magick.pm
# or
$ find / -name Magick.pm
[download]

Update: since the ImageMagick libraries are most likely installed on the system, you can put the Image::Magick module in your $HOME or somewhere and call it with use lib;. There are many nodes around that'll show you how to install modules in a non-default place.

I installed the one module you said Magick.pm and added that to my /lib/.

Brother tachyon wrote a fine tutorial (A Guide to Installing Modules). I could partially quote it here, but it's better to read the whole thing :) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]

I've read that before and I've installed many modules before on a server. I can't use the Makefile because it's on a webserver, not on my computer and I can't use shell. How do I fix "loadable" errors?	[reply]

Is there a way to use convert itself in my script that requires the module?	[reply]
