Chris, what do the remaining 10% involve?
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.
setting @INC will only help if you're installing the perl libraries with fink. If you're using a fink imagemagick with a cpan perlmagick, then you'll need to set a few more environment variables to tell the system where fink has put the various libraries that imagemagick uses. the details are in the fink faq:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php?phpLang=en#compile- myself
I wouldn't try and install Image::Magick from CPAN, though: it's very unlikely that the versions will match. Either do as Chris says and use fink tools to install the perl modules too, or untar the imagemagick package that fink has just installed and install Image::Magick by hand. the package will be in /sw/src/ and perlmagick is in its ./perl subdirectory once unpacked.
