I have just installed the Image::Size library, and it won't work for my desired purpose.

I run a bulletin board. Users can add images to their post by entering the specific command and the url location of the img file. Obviously, some folks post up images that are too big for 800x600 resolution screens. My desire is to view the image height and width attributes and then determine whether I need to hardcode smaller attributes so that the images won't run off the screen.

Using the Image::Size library, I have no problem checking the attributes on local files (files on my own server). But, it won't work for image files on outside servers.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks...
