 From the original post....

Checking for         Email-Reply (any)     ok: found v1.202
Checking for            mod_perl (v1.999022) ok: found v2.000002

libraries are not installed or not installed properly.

It looks like it is possible for a system where the Image::Magick module has been incorrectly installed to cause 
checksetup to croak.  While it is true that users should not install CPAN modules without passing their tests,
we peobably don't ant bad system to crash checksetup (or other code that use-es the module) without catching the error.
