You seem to be using a custom Perl build in /usr/local/bin.

What happens if you try the stock Perl in /usr/bin ?

What operating system is this? If it's Linux, what distro is it; if it's
Unix, what vendor are you using; if anything, what version do you have?

If your OS offers a package management framework (such as Red Hat RPM,
Debian apt-get, Sun packages, MacOSX Fink, BSD ports, etc), why aren't
you using it? These things often solve such problems for you easily.

On my Mac, I just do something like

    % sudo fink install imagemagick

On a Debian box, I'd do

    $ sudo apt-get install imagemagick

On a Red Hat box... I'd install Debian :-)

But you see the point, I hope -- if your platform offers an package
management system, you should give it a try before spending too much
time on puzzling it out by yourself. Chances are very good that someone
out there has already automated this work for you.
