Subject: shouldn't require new build of perl
This should only install the ImageMagick library (if it isn't already installed elsewhere). The perl interface to ImageMagick should be provided by a different cpan module (using xs or inline, etc). The description of your module states it is supposedly cpanm-compatible, but if that requires the user to build an entirely new version of perl to support it, then that's not really too compatible.

This packages just solves the problem of having a cpanm + perlbrew compatible way of installing Image::Magick. If you know another simpler way, please share it with us. The perl recompiling is indeed a big issue. I raised it there: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25526 Any idea on that?
I've been able to build Image::Magick manually using a perl without useshrplib. There seems to be something about the way you are building Image::Magick causing a problem here.
Interesting, can you share the ./configure options you used? or the environment variables? Cheers, Jerome. On Thu Feb 05 11:35:15 2015, haarg wrote: Show quoted text

Yep, it looks that this limitation is gone from the new image magick. Will make a new release. Thanks for the heads up! J. On Thu Feb 05 11:35:15 2015, haarg wrote: Show quoted text
