Here's a tested program:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Image::Magick;

# ----------------

my($image)	= Image::Magick -> new(size => '200x100');
my($result)	= $image -> Read('pattern:circles');

die $result if $result;

$result = $image -> Write('circles.png');

die $result if $result;
