If you only want the file size, you want to check the header of the reply that the server sends to you. The LWP::Simple module has a very convenient method, unimaginatively called head, which does Just That:

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my $url = 'http://xxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx.gif';
printf "$url : %s bytes", ((head $url)[1]);
[download]

use LWP::Simple;
local $\ = "\n";  # add newline to print
print +(head('http://perlmonks.org/images/monk1sm.gif'))[1];
[download]

If you mean the image dimensions, you'll have to download the file, for example using get() or getstore() from LWP::Simple, and read the dimensions with Image::Size or Image::Info.

Here I use Image::Info because it doesn't require the image to be stored as a file — just use a scalar reference to the raw image data:

use LWP::Simple;
use Image::Info qw(image_info dim);
my $raw = get('http://perlmonks.org/images/monk1sm.gif');
printf "WxH: %dx%d\n", dim(image_info(\$raw));
[download]

use Image::Size
[download]

If you want the file size, you can use HTTP::Size, which I wrote just for that purpose.
