in reply to CPAN "Imager" Module Question

Do you happen to be using strawberry perl on your work machine?

Strawberry comes with Imager, with most of the file formats enabled, which could explain why it works there.

Installing the ActiveState PPM over that wouldn't remove Imager::File::JPEG, so it would stay available.

If your home laptop is running ActiveState perl it won't have an already installed Imager::File::JPEG to fallback to when you install the ActiveState PPM.

Strawberry also includes the headers and libraries to installed Imager from source with the most useful file formats.
