Since you're not really using Perl to do anything but arrange the various *nix programs, why not use a shell script instead? It would be simpler, shorter, and wouldn't involve spawning an unnecessary interpreter.

#!/bin/bash

for image in *.{gif,bmp,jpg,wmf,jpeg,png}
do
    size=`/usr/bin/identify $image`
    ...
    [do whatever with "$size" here]
    ...
    convert -geometry 800x600 $image ${image/./-l.}
    convert -geometry 80x60 $image ${image/./-s.}
done

...and so on. This may be just a personal quirk of mine, but I find shell scripts (or batch files) coerced into another language (whatever it happens to be) gratingly pointless.

Update: Incidentally, it fails in Linux.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
