I installed ImageMagick+perl on my osx machine. It runs great from the shell with no errors. I have added a job to my crontab and the script fails saying "Image::Magick" is not found.

To find out where it is installed i shell "perldoc -l Image::Magick"
and get this "/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/"

so at the top of my perl script i add this...
use lib "/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/"

Still no luck.

Error is below 

Can't load '/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level//auto/I
+mage/Magick/Magick.bundle' for module Image::Magick: dlopen(/opt/loca

Finally, i copied all of my @INC paths when run from shell and added each path manually (with a seperate use lib "PATH/HERE"; statement and it still fails.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

P.S. My cron job is not run as root (i'd rather not do this).
