The hard work has already been done for you here, check out the Image::Size module on CPAN. `use Image::Size; ($x, $y) = imgsize("mypic.gif");` [download] Will give you the x and y dimensions of your picture. It works with a wide range of different image formats and sources. It's a very handy module indeed. Ugly	[reply] [d/l]
