perlmagick crashes perl when calling Write

[benbak]

Hi

I have installed active perl 5.10.1 and imagemagic 6.5.7 successfully on a windows machine. when I run my script both ->Scale and ->Open, run successfully without throwing any exceptions, but when I call $magick->Write(file=>\*IMAGE, filename=>$newpathname); it crashes perl.exe without throwing any errors in the apache log file.

I'm new to perl and perlmagick, please help.

best regards

Thanks

Windows appears to restrict the passing of file handles from one DLL (PerlMagick XS) to another (ActiveState Perl). You can write to a filename but writing to a file handle causes a fault. If a Windows expert knows of a work around for this problem, we'd like to hear about it.

Hi,

I have not investigated this into details but the described behaviour might be caused by the fact that Perl DLL is linked with different version of C-runtime library than Image Magick DLL.

If the versions of C-runtime libraries differ (or one of the DLL is linked with /MT option) than it is the situation described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 80%29.aspx
