17 Well, as former maintainer of PerlMagick in Gentoo, I can tell you that
18 the way we used to do it was to take the tarball that is used to build
19 imagemagick and reuse it for building perlmagick, building only the perl
20 portions and ensuring that we were binding against the correct libraries
21 on $root. But hey, what do I know, I only maintained it for 2 or 3
22 years.
