It might, I just wasn't sure if I was forgetting a step afterwards.

The main one I can think of is that Fink is going to put the libraries 
it installs under /sw/lib, so you have to make sure that these are in 
your @INC path. The Fink installer should set this up for you, but you 
can double-check by doing this:

    % perl -e 'print join( "\n", @INC)'
    /sw/lib/perl5/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /sw/lib/perl5/5.8.1
    /sw/lib/perl5
    /sw/lib/perl5/darwin
    /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Library/Perl
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Network/Library/Perl
    .
    %

If what you get isn't roughly the same, then you may have to include a 
`use lib ...` statement in your scripts to tell them where to look for 
the Image::Magick library.

But hopefully this Just Works.
