Don't know much about PerlMagick ... but a couple of things to think about.
Why does it complain about writing to file, when you're not trying to do
that ? (Afaik, you're trying to write to stdout.)
Also, I would expect that stdout would have to be binmoded if you're going
to write the file to there.
