Installing perlmagick was what I needed. I've written a routine that iterates through the images folder, but I fail to create and assign the object correctly:

sub resize_images  {
use 5.010;
use Path::Class;
use Image::Magick;

my ($rvars) = shift;
my %vars = %$rvars;
opendir my $hh, $vars{to_images} or warn "warn  $!\n";
while (defined ($_ = readdir($hh))){
  my $image = Image::Magick->new;
  $image->ReadImage($_);
  $x = $image->Get('filesize');
  say "$_ has filesize of $x";
}
}

Output:
