Interesting. So, you have encountered situations under which
backtick or pipe fails, yet "system" works? Can you characterize
that situation? It hasn't happened to me yet...

ActivePerl build 522 is 5.005_03. (Of course, the Perl version
would be relevant only to the failed installation of PerlMagick, not to
the failed execution of an ImageMagick command via backtick.)
