External Perl Module

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks
Simple question for you, but it's driving me crazy here.
I have to link my program to use ImageMagick and it is installed in /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick.
How can I use it on my program, I tried something like:

use usr::ports::graphics::ImageMagick;
and
use usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick;

I know it's not right, but I can't think of another way.
Thanks for the help!

Actually, you don't have ImageMagick installed. Additionally, your hosting provider is using some BSD, I would assume FreeBSD. All that is contained in /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick are package description files and a Makefile. You should kindly ask your hosting company to do the following: `cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick make sudo make install` [download] After that, you'll need to either install the perl ImageMagick module from cpan in your own directory, or ask your hosting provider to install it for the whole server. --chargrill `$,=42;for(34,0,-3,9,-11,11,-17,7,-5){$.=pack'c'=>$,+=$_}for(reverse s +plit//=>$ ){$%++?$ %%2?push@C,$_,$":push@c,$_,$":(push@C,$_,$")&&push@c,$"}$C[$# +C]=$/;($#C >$#c)?($ c=\@C)&&($ C=\@c):($ c=\@c)&&($C=\@C);$%=$\|;for(@$c){print$_^ +$$C[$%++]}` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think your missing link is in CPAN -- Image::Magick.	[reply]

To expand on the above post, how did you go about installing Image::Magick? If installed properly inside that directory, you might be able to use it via: `use lib '/usr/ports/graphics';` [download] --- It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.	[reply] [d/l]
