Also the force - it has a dark side, a light side and holds the universe
together.

<tip type='perl image sizing'>
There's a handy Perl module called ImageMagick which has a bunch
of image functions, including finding the dimensions of an image.
Here's how you use it:

use Image::Size 'attr_imgsize';
#make sure that the ImageMagick module is in @INC -
#a special variable which tells Perl where to find included files
#like libraries and modules

@attrs = attr_imgsize($filename);
#where $filename is the full path to the image in question

$imagewidth=$attrs[1];
$imageheight=$attrs[3];
</tip>
