Yes.

PerlMagick works the same on Linux and Windows.

PerlMagick methods sometimes throws an exception, $x is just a random
variable that might contain an exception message:

  $x = $image->Read('abc.gif');
  warn "$x" if "$x";

might return 'abc.gif: file not found' if abc.gif does not exist.  If it
does exist $x is undefined so the warning is not issued.
