Image::Magick is a Perl module that needs to be compiled with a C
compiler.  It's a front end to the routines in libMagick, rather than
to the programs that come with ImageMagick.  So far as I know, no one
has ever built Image::Magick for MacPerl.  If you're interested in
trying to build it (there are no guarantees that it will work) you
should start by looking at Arved Sandstrom's MacXS tutorial at
<http://www.macperl.com/depts/Tutorials/XS/mpxstut.html>.
