[Gllug] make error loading Perl module via 'cpan'

Um, the actual error would be reported immediately *above* those
lines. All that says is `there was an error'.

ok, you'd certainly need those for PerlMagick. (Note that PerlMagick is
actually *part* of ImageMagick, not some kind of add-on; it ships in the
ImageMagick source tarball. It's just that it's on CPAN too.)

It'll be in the arch-dependent directory. I see it in

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi-ld/Image/Magick.pm

(but your arch-dependent directory is very likely to be named something
else.)

If that's not there, PerlMagick didn't install.
