I'm not a Perl fan, so I don't know about ready to use module (BTW, I'm sure there should be something suitable at the CPAN). But you can analize results obtained from the tiffinfo or tiffdump utilities: just calculate the number of directories in the file. Sometimes it may give a wrong results, though, because directory may not contain the actual image data, so you may check the StripOffsets tag as well. Tiffinfo and tiffdump are the part of the libtiff package. Andrey -- Andrey V. Kiselev Home phone: +7 812 5274898 ICQ# 26871517
