in reply to batch converting images with image::magick?

Appropriately, some Perl answers have been provided, but if you don't feel like "just writing a quick script" you could instead "just type a quick command":

for i in *.bmp; do convert $i `basename $i .bmp`.jpg; done

I assume you're using Linux/Unix or some OS with command line ImageMagick tools (convert) available.
