NAME

Alien::ImageMagick - cpanm compatible Image::Magick packaging.

VERSION

Version 0.10

DESCRIPTION

This package's purpose is to make the installation of the official Image Magick library and Perl interface compatible with cpanm ( https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-cpanminus/bin/cpanm ) and perlbrew ( https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-perlbrew/bin/perlbrew ).

Installing it will download and install the freshest image magick library and Perl interface from the official Image Magick website ( See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php ) in a way that is compatible with perlbrew and/or cpanm.

Alternatively, you may use the environment variable PERL_ALIEN_IMAGEMAGICK_VERSION to pin a particular version of Image Magick (e.g. "7.1.1-30").

If you use cpanm or perlbrew, this will not conflict with your system's Image Magick installation.

INSTALLATION

To use this package and use Image::Magick from your application code:

Instead of depending on 'Image::Magick', just depend on 'Alien::ImageMagick'.

Then see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php#overview for more on using image magic with perl.
