Image::Size does this as well, doesn't it?  Anyway, it's not important.  
As long as we get it from *somewhere* ;-)

a) If the two modules do the same thing, wouldn't it be nice to use either 
or depending on which ones were installed?

b) What's the speed difference/memory useage of these things?  Does 
Image::Info use more resources when it's doing the checks?

c) Image::Info doesn't seem to mention anything about caching results, 
which Image::Size does (to avoid reloading data each and every time a 
bullet point is used for example.)  Should we add that bit in the plugin?

Later.

Mark.
