The error just means that ActiveState has this module in their repository, but they don't have a version compiled for Windows. So you are out of luck, unless you happen to have Microsoft's C++ compiler. I believe not only do you need the MS C++ compiler, but it may also need to be the same version the ActiveState uses to compile the perl executable (someone, please correct me if I am wrong). I took a look at the package on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/src/JCRISTY/PerlMagick-6.02/), and the README.txt says that it does include a Makefile just for Windows... so it should compile if you have the compiler. Other than that all you can do is ask if someone already has it compiled, and can send you the files. Maybe you could even send a mail to ActiveState, I'm not sure but maybe if they are in a good mood they might get it added to the repository (there may even be some AS employees on this list, I see one poster's name that looks familiar, but I'm not sure if he still works there).

I just tried installing Image::Magick (on Win2K/AS perl 5.6.1 build 635), and had no issues. The install showed that it installed Magick.dll, and where it was installed to.

If anyone has any suggestion, I would greatly appreciate it. I have both ImageMagick and PerlMagick installed. I can view pictures fine w/ ImageMagick, I just can't use the Image::Magick module... Do I have the modules installed correctly? I let the ImageMagick software install them. I checked ppm> but I didn't see them installed.
