I think I know what the problem was, now. I thought I'd uninstalled the
Cygwin ImageMagick packages, but for some reason I still had libMagick6 on
my system. So, while some stuff worked fine and display gave me 6.0.8 as
the version, PerlMagick was dynamically loading the 6.0.4 DLL. Obviously,
there's a mismatch there. When I finally figured this out and removed the
libMagick6 package, everything worked fine.
I now also have PerlMagick (from ImageMagick's 6.0.4-5 release) running fine
with Cygwin's ImageMagick packages, though I had to copy a couple of
ImageMagick 6.0.4-5's mgk files into /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.04/config
(namely coder.mgk, log.mgk, and magic.mgk).
Thanks for listening, everything's resolved now :-)
