Ok... it seems to me that my two best options are as follows:
1. Install fink and then install ImagaMagick (as per below)
2. Install PerlMagick
3. Install the addition C libraries so as to have access to image manipulation and compression and such
or
1. Install the Darwin port of ImageMagick.
First, I think it wise to not install ImagaMagick as my first library. I don't have enough "perl testosterone" to make that jump. Second, I'm not afraid to try stuff out of depth of understanding. It's just good to know where my limits are and build from there.
So with that being said, I guess the next question would be about the Darwin port. How is that an advantage over fink (et al)? I know of darwin but don't know anything about it. And finally, which would be the probable best route to take -- fink or darwin?
Thanks,
Mark

Nonsense. You must first install the C libraries you need. Fink is *one* way
to get them, not the only one.
It's certainly a very easy & painless way though:
% sudo fink -y install imagemagick % sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Image::Magick'
This gets you 90% of the way there, at least.
The ability to do this by hand can obviously be valuable, but it can hardly be easier :-)
