John M. Dlugosz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm looking at Image::Size, Image::Info, etc. and wondering what module to use to get information concerning image files. If I want more than just the height and width later, I should plan for a module that does more without loading multiple code bases that do the same thing. But simple is also good.

Any thoughts on experience or inside knowledge of these modules?

    I use Image::Magick for most of my image processing and manipulation routines. 
    # Resize image
my $image = new Image::Magick;
$image->Read($file);
$image->Scale(geometry => '300x300');
$image->Set(density=>'200');
$image->Write($file);
