Question

I'm using Twiki 4.0 on Windows XP with latest ActiveState Perl. After I enabled the ImagePlugin, I got an error. When I ran the installer script, it seems my Perl is missing the Graphics::Magick module. However, neither the installer script nor I am able to find or download this paritcular package from anywhere (cpan.org included).

Is this a "must" required package (as stated on the plugin page) or is there a substitute that can be used (Image::Magick??). It seems like a lot of PERL modules/libraries are not available on Windows which some of the plugins I've tried to use Require...

Any idea would be appreciated.

you should probly look at strawberry perl - its a proper native perl port that includes a compiler tool chain, making it much plausible that CPAN modules are useable.

however, ImageMagik and the image requirements are the hardest to fill - and yes, this plugin needs them to do anything.
