Trouble with Image::Magick

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

It was suggested I come here since I've exhausted every other option my minimal knowledge affords me. The simple question is: Does anyone know how/if/where there might be a version of Image::Magick that will work with the version of perl that comes with XAMPP? For more full disclosure of my problem, please see this blog post.

tried make/install, via cpan, of Image::Magick, but all three versions of make I tried to use with cpan failed in some way Image::Magick is notorious for build and runtime errors on windows. It is possible to build it (I did it), just prepare to use the best of your creativity. installed Windows version of Image::Magick, but none of the suggested hacks I tried allow the httpd.conf to 'see' the Windows Image::Magick I'm not sure what hacks are needed for testing whether a module works or not. Usually it is really easy: `perl -MImage::Magick -e 1` If that works, your problem is elsewhere.	[reply] [d/l]

I read the blog and still don't understand what exactly you are trying to do...other than having access to imagemagick via perl. maybe you could shed some light on that? A possible (quick) solution would be to install standalone imagemagick and call the executables accordingly from perl. the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H	[reply]
