I'm using ImageMagick version 5.4.9 (I installed PerlMagick WITH
ImageMagick), ActiveState ActivePerl version 5.6 on Win2k Adv Server
running
IIS 5.0.  I'm trying to display an image using PerlMagick directly to a web
browser (without saving the image to a file first).

The strange thing is that the perl script prints out the header and image
just fine from a COMMAND PROMPT.  However, calling the script from a web
browser gives me the error "Exception 425: An error has occurred writing to
file (-)"  It WILL let me save the image to a file (from the web), it just
won't let me 'pipe' the image straight to the browser.  It's almost like
it's a permissions issue.  I have given 'Everyone' full rights to the
directory where I opened the image from and where I'm calling the script
from, but that didn't help either.  Like I said, it works from a command
prompt, but not from the web.  I thought that maybe IIS has a problem
finding the ImageMagick DLL's.  However, the only problem with the script
is
the fact that it doesn't like writing the file to 'gif:-'.  Very strange! 
I
don't know what to do.  Anyone else have this problem using ImageMagick on
Win2k and had been able to find the fix??

Hi.
I'm a long-time user of ImageMagick, ActivePerl, WWW image display
applications, and have been many times submitted to the vagaries of IIS
and/or Iexplorer.
I have been wanting to try PerlMagick for a long time, but somehow never
managed to find the module ready to install for Win32.
If you can point me to where I can download and install it, I could try
your script under WinNT/Apache/ActivePerl 5.6.1 and tell you if it makes
any difference.

Maybe an idea : I know that ImageMagick uses a temporary directory to write
things out when it doesn't have enough memory to process things in ram. 
Maybe that's what happening, and the user which IIS uses to run your script
doesn't have write permission to the temp directory ?
(I think usually scripts under IIS run as "IUSR_something").
