ImageMagick was not installed correctly on the VexxHosting server.
ImageMagick is a Unix program. It can be used at the telnet commandline by typing in 200 lines of code to resize an image, or it can be used by Perl to do the same job through a browser with 4 lines of code. The installation at VexxHosting has the ImageMagick program, but it does not have the Image/Magick.pm Perl Module (PerlMagick) for using it through Perl.
There are numerous ways to install ImageMagick on Unix. Most all methods will botch the job by putting the Image/Magick.pm in the wrong place. To correctly install ImageMagick it MUST be installed with the yum utility. Yum is the only utility which can even get all of the PerlMagick libraries and install them since yum is the only utility that has a URL for finding the PerlMagick libraries and installing them so Image/Magic.pm knows how to find the ImageMagick program.
There is only one way to test if the ImageMagick installation has the correct PerlMagick libraries and is usable by Perl. A Perl script containing:
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use Image::Magick;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "OK";
will print OK if it can use ImageMagick. It will print an error if ImageMagick was not properly installed using yum.
