#68 add Graphics::Magick to CPAN

[Anonymous]

very few perl programmers know of Graphics::Magic because it is not included in CPAN [1], whereis Image::Magick is and is therefore used more often. i found a couple of references to Graphics::Magick in some other modules which made it seem like it once did exist on CPAN, though.

Graphics::Magick is originally based on the Image::Magick module so the code did exist on CPAN. Normally CPAN modules should be able to download and compile. I suspect that the Image::Magick CPAN module does not compile and will not work with current ImageMagick. This module is one of the most complicated PERL modules in existence.
.
If it does make a difference, then a volunteer such as yourself should create a Graphics::Magick module on our behalf and register it with the CPAN network.

The GraphicsMagick project will not be submitting Graphics::Magick to CPAN because it is very difficult to build properly outside of the GraphicsMagick build process. However, a volunteer should be able to do this independently if they desire to do so.
