I posted a recent SOPW and the code I've been told to use is below. For the life of me I cannot get imageinfo to parse my image file, it constantly errors out about division by zero. My test $h and $w printout are blank.

I can access the image URL in my browser just fine, so it can't be a permission problem. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

use Image::Info qw(image_info dim);
my $img_info = image_info("http://www.myurl.org/pictures/$pic_id.jpg")
+;
my ($h, $w) = dim($img_info);

print "$h and $w, check the URL of image at http://www.myurl.org/pictu
+res/$pic_id.jpg";

my ($max_width,    $max_height   ) = (800, 600);
my ($width_factor, $height_factor) = ($max_width/$width, $max_height/$
+height);

if ($width_factor < 1 || $height_factor < 1) {
   my $factor = ($width_factor < $height_factor ? $width_factor : $hei
+ght_factor
   );

   $width  = int($width  * $factor + 0.5);
   $height = int($height * $factor + 0.5);
}
