Hello Serguei, Lyndon, Guarav, Thank you very much to all for your answers. I didn't find a solution directly from a single answer, but all together helped me getting resolved the problem. I'll document it as soon as I have time and let you know about it. Now, just some comments to your answers:

As you will read in my following comment, the Perl Magick installer wasn't giving me the option because it wasn't detecting Perl on my system. Also, for some reason, the PPD file wasn't working with ppm, telling me that the PPD file wasn't made for my plattform. Using your PPD, I got it installed on Perl 5.8, but Image::Magick was complaining about not finding a core dll in my ImageMagick installation, but it was there. I'll document how I resolved this as soon as I can. Thanks again Serguei. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Lyndon Rickards" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 1:12 PM Subject: Re: PerlMagick (Image::Magick) Installation > Now I simply install the full ImageMagick and check the option to install > PerlMagick...this performs a ppm download/install making perlmagick fully > functional. A main problem for me with this, is that my Perl installation is not from the original installer. It was some time ago, but after some system restores, I started keeping the perl folder as a standalone resource in a repository and checking it out whenever I needed to have Perl on a computer, just adding it to the system path environment variable. That works pefectly, but it doesn't allow the Image Magick detect that Perl is installed because I even use it on a linux-like path (/usr/bin). So, I tried using a virtual pc with Windows XP, installing Perl with the installer and installing ImageMagick too. I tried it with both perl versions and I was getting errors. Finally, I found that those errors dissapeared by installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Setup". -------------------------------------------------- From: "Gaurav Vaidya" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 11:56 AM Subject: Re: PerlMagick (Image::Magick) Installation > I've been having problems building this module recently, too.

Maybe at > http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=PerlMagick > ? I'll do the same if I get to the solution first. I'll sure do it Guarav. I found a way to install it without any issues, and better than that, a way to keep it even simpler after that so other people experimenting issues with Image::Magick could opt for it as something fast. As soon as I have the time, I'll document it and let you guys know.
