>Description:
I'm currently designing multiple websites (one on a Linux host, the other
on another FreeBSD machine), and my test environment on this machine (Apache
2.0.49, mod_perl 1.99_13, PLP 3.18 hacked to work with mod_perl 2) works fine
with the previous version of ImageMagick. However, the newest version causes the
ImageMagick Perl API to fail silently when accessed via mod_perl 2.x, and maybe
under other circumstances. I have not made any changes to any other systems.
Deinstalling the 6.x version and replacing it with the 5.x version without
changing any other system configuration items yields a working setup. I have not
had the opportunity to test the same setups on my other (RELENG_4) machine,
though I will if requested.

>How-To-Repeat:
Here's a minimal test case, using PLP:
<:
use Image::Magick;
$image = Image::Magick->new;
$image->Read('maxtor.gif');
:>
<html>
<body>
Here's an image:
<img src="maxtor.gif">
Its size is <:=$image->Get('width'):>x<:=$image->Get('height'):>.
</body>
</html>

I've tested this with other image formats and it's broken for them, too. This
_should_ read in the image and display it on the page, and then below it print
out its geometry. With the new 6.x version of ImageMagick, I receive an error
(via PLP) telling me that the Read method failed. With the old, 5.x version,
it's fine.
>Fix:
None known.
