Since you're not really using Perl to do anything but arrange the various *nix programs, why not use a shell script instead? It would be simpler, shorter, and wouldn't involve spawning an unnecessary interpreter. 

#!/bin/bash

for image in *.{gif,bmp,jpg,wmf,jpeg,png}
do
    size=`/usr/bin/identify $image`
    ...
    [do whatever with "$size" here]
    ...
    convert -geometry 800x600 $image ${image/./-l.}
    convert -geometry 80x60 $image ${image/./-s.}
done

...and so on. This may be just a personal quirk of mine, but I find shell scripts (or batch files) coerced into another language (whatever it happens to be) gratingly pointless.

Update: Incidentally, it fails in Linux.
