You could try to figure out if it is Image::Magick that is missing, or if it is some dependency. "PerlMagic" was the parent-poster's way of pointing out that there is a library called "ImageMagick", but that it is separate from the Perl module "Image::Magick".

You might try this quickie script to dump the actual error to your browser:

#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
  require POSIX;
  local $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { 
    print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n@_";
    POSIX::_exit(0); #Needed to prevent HTTP/500 Error
  };
  require Image::Magick;
  Image::Magick->import();
}

That should result in a message that looks something like

Can't locate Image/Magick.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Perl\lib\ C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at test-magick.pl line 1.

Appearring in your browser. It should give you some idea if Image::Magick is missing (like in the message above), or if one of its dependencies is gone.

I cut/paste the code (above) into a cgi script (Perlmonks.cgi) which I uploaded to my server. I got the following error (in my server error log)when I tried to run the script.

"GET /cgi-bin/Perlmonks.cgi HTTP/1.1" 500 636 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

Unfortunately, that's a pretty vague error. If your ISP allows you to ssh or telnet to your server, that will be much better for debugging.
