I need to add new information to this issue.  I mistakenly thought I was 
getting this error from within a general shell script.  I now see the error 
actually occurs only when the script is run as a service.

Example:
#!/bin/sh
export PERL_DL_DEBUG=1

while sleep 5
do
if [ -f "/tmp/flag" ];
then
    rm /tmp/flag
    perl -e 'use Image::Magick; print("Hello!");'
fi
done

## end script

When run from command line, works fine.  when installed as service yields:
<<<
Can't load 
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/Image/Magick/Magick
.dll' for module Image::Magick: dlopen: Win32 error 126 at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/
cygwin-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
 >>>
