in thread Question: module to grab file information??

Hi, tachyon-II:

You are right, I have used GD::Image to grab size-infomation of about 99% image files. only those with type "PC bitmap data, Windows 3.x format" not available through GD::Image. but I can grab this missing information from running Linux 'file' command anyway. Just want to know if there is a Perl module which can handle this, instead of use code like below(untested):

my $imginfo = qx[ file $myimg ]; my (width, height)= ($imginfo =~ m{(\d+) x (\d+) x \d+});

thanks.

    Does the code above not work? Is Image::Size not a module that does this?
