in reply to Image::Magick on Windows!

If you are using ActiveState Perl 80x (but not 807), from the ppm console write:
rep add beaucox http://ppm.beaucox.com
and then
s magick
Now, you will see some entries and so you could install the module you need.

    Thank you!

    I have used the repository to install the full version of the Image::Magick module (containing the dlls). I am using ActiveState Perl 5.8.1.807 as you suggested NOT to....is this the reason that the module doesn't appear to be working well?

      I think so. AS Perl 807 is Perl 5.8.1 that is not fully binary compatible with Perl 5.8.0. You need to recompile the modules thas use XS (with AS Perl usually with MS Visual C++).
