 p5-perlmagick was recently [ticket:25832 updated to version 6.59] but it
 was [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2010-July/012452.html pointed out] that this corresponds to
 ImageMagick version 6.5.9-1, which is several versions behind
 ImageMagick's version already. The ImageMagick source code contains the
 same source as p5-perlmagick, and this has puzzled me; if ImageMagick
 contains always-up-to-date source code, why does the separate
 p5-perlmagick distribution exist at all? In the absence of an answer to
 that question, I suggest p5-perlmagick switch to using the source
 contained in the ImageMagick distfile. This will ensure p5-perlmagick and
 ImageMagick can always be updated to the same version and be kept
 compatible with one another. If this is done, I would like to co-maintain
 p5-perlmagick with you, so that when I update ImageMagick to a new
 version, I can update p5-perlmagick as well.

 I tried to do this once but got stuck because the version of the source
 included with ImageMagick does not come pre-configured like the
 p5-perlmagick version does. I had trouble figuring out what all to change
 in Makefile.PL.in to make it into a usable Makefile.PL that matched the
 currently-installed ImageMagick. I can look back at what I did and see if
 I can attach something useful here.
