Next, get the PerlMagick distribution corresponding to the installed ImageMagick distribution (e.g. PerlMagick 6.22 for ImageMagick 6.2.2) and ..." The Cygwin release of ImageMagick is dated, you have two options, try the corresponding PerlMagick release or rebuild ImageMagick, these mirrors have a newer version of ImageMagick (6.2.4) which *should* work better: ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/multimedia/graphics/ImageMagick ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/ImageMagick ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/graphics/image/ImageMagick/imagemagick.org Unfortunately the README included in the current PerlMagick tarball doesn't say so but: "You must have ImageMagick 6.0.2 or above" If you rebuild ImageMagick take the PerlMagick included in the tarball.
