I recommend you don't use CPAN; instead, use MacPorts to install any  
Perl modules you need. Most Perl modules are in separate ports whose  
names start with "p5-". Use "port search" to see if the modules you  
need are there; if not, we can add them.


For PerlMagick there is a p5-perlmagick port but it does not compile;  
see:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12071

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13234

Both tickets request that the port be removed, so I guess we should  
do that.

To get PerlMagick, compile the ImageMagick port with the +perl variant.
