I too had this problem a while back and never got to a root cause before I got to a working solution. There seems to be some reliance on ImageMagic DLL that is not satisfied by the PPM package. Now I simply install the full ImageMagick and check the option to install PerlMagick...this performs a ppm download/install making perlmagick fully functional. I use this method widely with perl 5.8, cannot vouch with 5.10.
