Any ideas why the following path doesn't seem to point Image Magick to the TTF font there? 
$x = $image -> [$count] -> Annotate (font=>'@/home/jeff/wildernessfrin
+ge-fonts/VERDANA.TTF', pointsize=>'10', gravity=>'Center', y=>"$yloca
+tion", x=>'100', fill=>'white', text=>"© $global::firstname $global::
+lastname\nWildernessFringe.com");
            die "$x" if "$x";

It used to work fine before the powers that be updated Perl on my server....and then all hell broke loose..... The path from root to my TTF file is: /home/jeff/wildernessfringe-fonts/VERDANA.TTF Here's the error I'm getting: 
Warning 320: FreeType library is not available (/home/jeff/wildernessf
+ringe-fonts/VERDANA.TTF)
