Depending on how you process your images, it may be wise to try and reuse a single IM object. This code shows a possible IM glitch which you may run into. It shows the need to clear out the reusable IM object after every use. However, you may get away with a creation/undef usage within a limited scope, where you create a new IM object for every transformation, then undef it. I think that would slow you down with alot of images, so think about a reusable IM object. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Image::Magick;

my $image = Image::Magick->new;
umask 0022;
my @pics= <*.jpg>;
#my @pics= <*.jpg *.gif *.png>; #add all your extensions here

   
foreach my $pic (@pics){    
   my ($picbasename) = $pic =~ /^(.*).jpg$/;
   my $ok;
   $ok = $image->Read($pic) and warn ($ok);
   my $thumb = $picbasename . '-t.jpg';
   $image->Scale(geometry => '100x100');
   $ok = $image->Write($thumb) and warn ($ok);

   undef @$image; #needed if $image is created outside loop

   print "$pic -> $thumb\n";
}

And here is a very basic File::Find script to process files. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Find;

$|++;

my $path = '.';
my $cmd = 'file';
finddepth (\&wanted,$path);

# untested regex
my $regex =  qr/\Q.png$\E/i;

sub wanted {
  return unless -f; #-d for dir ops or comment out for both 
  
if ( /$regex/) { 
         print "$File::Find::name\n" 
    
          #do your ImageMagick processing here         

           }

}

__END__
