Yes: Image::Info.
<http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Image-Info/lib/Image/Info.pm>
Quoting from that page...
SYNOPSIS
use Image::Info qw(image_info dim);
my $info = image_info("image.jpg");
if (my $error = $info->{error}) {
die "Can't parse image info: $error\n";
}
my $color = $info->{color_type};
my($w, $h) = dim($info);
Accessing the comment field is a one-line change to this block.
Helpful?
