Thanks to Ron Savage and Duc Sequere for the information and the
suggestions to try undef $image. (Tried that, and tried newing the pointer
again, no joy.) Ron, you were correct, it wasn't precisely the problem.
The problem seems to be that imagemagick won't let go of the file.
my $filename = new File::Temp(UNLINK => 0, SUFFIX => '.png');
$rv = $image->Write($filename);
die $rv if $rv;
print "wrote image to $filename\n" if $opts{'d'};
print "DEBUG0", `ls -l $filename`;
undef $image;
print "DEBUG1: please check to see if $filename is still on hold.\n";
my $pause = <>;
Its not a flush problem -- the ls -l shows that the file exists and has a
good size. However, at the pause, if I turn to process explorer, it shows
that my perl image still has a handle open to that temp file there, and
also later after $filename has gone out of context and all I'm trying to do
is read in the file into Excel. I can probably try some sort of
work-around by copying the contents into a file that imagemagick has never
heard of, but this seems really clumsy.
