Messed up install

I had first posted this in comp.lang.perl, but it is probably more
appropriate here. I had written a small script to do some thumbnail
work (I am on a Windows XP system, but will run this either here or on
the Linux host.) I was going to use the GD module, but ppm3 did not
find it. So I decided to use Imager. Imager, however, decided it did
not want to do a jpeg. That is sort of question 1, what module should
I use for some simple graphics stuff?
But here it gets bad. I decided to try the script on the Linux host,
where I don't have root privileges. And when I went to run my script
it failed because it could not find ConfigReader::Simple. So I decided
to load that locally. ConfigReader::Simple, of course, required other
things and pretty soon I was lost trying to get all that installed. (I
followed the advice from
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/04/10/mod_perl.html.) I ended up messed
up so I tried to back up and deleted all of the downloaded stuff and,
I thought, all of the stuff installed in my local bin and lib. But
when I went to re-install I was told that nothing needed to be done.
But my scripts still fail. What do I do now?
TIA.
