almut your code gave me an out of memory too. Weird. Can you just plain load the module with `use Image::Magick;` (or `require Image::Magick;`)? In case the machine (or user limit) doesn't provide sufficient memory to load the module (which in theory could be possible), I'd expect that you get "out of memory" either way. An example of one of these block eval's ? `eval { require Image::Magick }; my $is_magick = $@ ? 0 : 1;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi again use Image::Magick; works like a charm, am using it for weeks. `eval { require Image::Magick }; my $is_Magick = $@ ? 0 : 1;` [download] produces out of memory too :( I have : XP, 2Gb ram, perl 5.10, IM 6.4.4-2, PerlMagick installed with IM installer Thanls again.

produces out of memory too This doesn't make much sense, as the `eval { ... }` is essentially also just loading the module (or trying to), only with fatal errors trapped. I have : XP, 2Gb ram, perl 5.10, IM 6.4.4-2, PerlMagick This is your web server machine, is it?	[reply] [d/l]
