PerlMagic ppm install fails on Windows 2003 server and XP

[abjones]

With ActivePerl 5.10.0 and the ImageMagick Windows Binary Release
ImageMagick-6.3.8-3-Q8-windows-dll.exe,
perlmagick does not install.

from CMD window at IMageMagick-6.3.8-Q8/PerlMagick
I ran "ppm install Image-Magick.ppd" and got:
"ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform"

I then ran "ppm config list" and see
arch = MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10

When I edit the ImageMagick-6.3.8-Q8/PerlMagick/Image-Magick.ppd
line <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.1" />
to <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10" />

then CMD "ppm install Image-Magick.ppd" works properly

Ok I tried this and it ALMOST worked for me (the story of my life)

I got perlmagick to install finally on a windows 2000 advanced server

I slowed my system to a crawl and got
Deep recursion on subroutine "Image::Magick::AUTOLOAD" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Image/Magick.pm line 42

This was when running mt-check on a movable type blog I am trying to set up.

Any ideas, suggestions, help, gin and tonic out there?

TIA
Phill

(I'm going to uninstall movable type and reinstall it - I think with all the tries to get perl magic working, I screed up the installation.

Hi Phill,

Will you please let me know.

How can i make sure that Perl Magick is installed on my PC.

Also please let me know if you are having any documents that can really be helpful for me for installing Perl Magick.

Thanks,
Ajay
