"My latest error in trying to finalize installation of the image magick is:"
Where in Image::Magick are you seeing anything about Apache::Reload? Unless you explain what you're trying to do and show us what caused the error, you're making this needlessly difficult for yourself, and it's unfair to expect others to have to deal with. From experience, the easier you make it for people to understand and reproduce the problem, the more likely the are to help.

Sorry... This has been an on-going problem for the past week. There are many threads below. I started a new one because I was getting confused. Very frustrated right now.

I fully second marto's post - I think we've all been in these frustrating situations where nothing seems to work and you spend some time banging your head against the wall :-) Taking a step back can be very helpful. I went through your posts so far and gather that you are on Windows 10, using Strawberry Perl, Apache, mod_perl, and Image::Magick. If you could take the time to gather the following information, it'd be helpful to us in helping you:
- What version of Perl (perl -v)? What version of Apache? What version of mod_perl, and since there seems to be multiple places to get binaries, where did you get it? Are you using any database server, and if so, which one?
- Do you have multiple versions of any of the above installed on this machine?
- Could you share the full output of echo %PATH%, echo %PERL5LIB%, and perl -V (that's a capital V)?
- Is this a software you wrote yourself and are migrating to a newer version of Windows/Perl/Apache? If so, what was the previous set up? (Versions of Windows, Perl, Apache, mod_perl, etc., and any paths) Or, is this a third-party software you're trying to get going, and if so, can you share what it is?
- What other modules is your Perl code using, and have you tried to install those?
As for ImageMagick, although I haven't used it in a while, I remember that installing it from source on Windows was a gigantic pain, and so getting one of the precompiled versions was usually much better. The ImageMagick Windows installer actually includes PerlMagick for ActiveState, but I haven't yet tried that on Strawberry Perl. You definitely need to install ImageMagick first, and did you try syphilis's advice from here?
If you have trouble, remember the advice in How do I post a question effectively? and SSCCE: short, self-contained pieces of information are usually best. If you're trying things on the command line, copy & paste that into <code> tags. If you're trying things in a GUI, describe exactly what you're doing and what messages you're getting, and so on. Consider what you'd have to describe to someone else so that they can reproduce the problem on their end.

Please, take a step back. We're happy to help, but it gets confusing in such cases. Take a moment to describe the situation, I'd guess you're migrating something to a new instance of Strawberry Perl, and having some issues. Even if it seems like a large frustrating problem, taking the time to describe what is going on can be fruitful. You don't have to post your whole application, however if you are moving something with a list of dependencies then you're going to have to satisfy those. You may want to take a look at Module::ScanDeps, which ships with the program scandeps.pl which you can use to try and determine dependencies.

I am beginning to wonder if it is possible to come up with a solution of this mess!!
In case you missed seeing it in the earlier thread I'll mention again that you can use the PPM utility (that ships with Strawberry Perl) to install Image::Magick.
