[magick-users] File operations not working under mod_perl with Mason

[Jon Perkin]

When (within Mason/mod_perl) I do:

$x=$im->Read($imagefilename);

No image is read and $x is undef.

It works fine in a stand-alone script. Everything else in PerlMagick
works fine undef Mason. Just file read/write operations fail, even
though any method file IO should work fine.

Cheers, Jon.

See what PerlMagick reports:

  $x = $im->Read($imagefilename);
  warn "$x";

Hi folks.

Does anyone know why PerlMagick's file operations are failing for me
under Mason?

i.e. $im->Read($imagefilename) and $im->Write($imagefilename) both
always fail quietly, as if they hadn't been called at all.

However if I do the file read/write myself and use
$im->BlobToImage($imagedata) and $imagedata=$im->ImageToBlob(), it works
fine.

I'm using ImageMagick (quite an old version 6.3.7, due to compatibility
issues) under Mason (via mod_perl) on Apache 2.2.8 on Windows.

Cheers, Jon.
