p5-perlmagick @6.8.5-5 fails to build

[jmgoicolea (Jose Goicolea)]

This port fails when building its first dependency:

$ sudo port install p5-perlmagick
--->  Computing dependencies for p5-perlmagick
--->  Dependencies to be installed: p5.12-perlmagick
--->  Building p5.12-perlmagick
Error: org.macports.build for port p5.12-perlmagick returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install p5.12-perlmagick
Please see the log file for port p5.12-perlmagick for details:
...

In the log file it appears to be an error in the linking stage:

...
:info:build ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L../magick/.libs'
:info:build ld: library not found for -lMagickCore-6.Q16
:info:build clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
...

This port is needed for auto-multiple-choice which is what I'm really interested in

[jmgoicolea (Jose Goicolea)]

to be more precise, I needed to build ImageMagick with the +perl variant, in order to install auto-multiple-choice which requires it. This +perl variant has been deprecated in the latest version of ImageMagick @6.8.5-5_0 , which upon build gives the following error message:

Error: org.macports.configure for port ImageMagick returned: The +perl variant is no longer used; use the separate p5-perlmagick port instead.

My system is Lion 10.7.5, with xcode version 4.2.1
