PerlMagick for ActivePerl 5.14 option?

This is for WinXP platform.

The ImageMagick installer only gives the option to install PerlMagick for ActiveState Perl 5.16.1. Older versions cause the installer to fail silently. I have updated Perl to 5.16.1, and everything is working fine, but now I want to convert my script to .EXE. I was using perl2exe, but this only supports up to 5.14. I have tried installing PAR::Packer, but I keep running into things that are missing because they only exist up to Perl 5.14, so the CPAN installer script fails. And PAR::Packer doesn't show up in ActiveState's PPM.

Is there a way to use the latest ImageMagick, but with PerlMagick that will use 5.14, so that I can use perl2exe? Or is there something far more obvious that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I've the same problem and found a solution:
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick_.ppd (QD=8 Version 6.8.3)
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick.ppd (QD=16 Version 6.8.3)
