Can someone diagnose what's going on here, when I try to install Image::Magick using Strawberry Perl and CPAN?

Writing Makefile for Image::Magick
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERROR: Cannot copy 'Magick.pm' to 'blib\lib\Image\Magick.pm': 
No such file or directory
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 at -e line 1
dmake.EXE:  Error code 130, while making 'pm_to_blib'
  JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.32.tar.gz
  C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
 JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.32.tar.gz               : make NO
[download]

Some modules have installed just fine, others have this error message.

Is it about permissions? Is it because it doesn't know what to do with tar.gz files? I'm not used to using CPAN on Windows having used ActivePerl all these years.

Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
