something like this? (excerpt from App::tkiv)

    my @img = map  { $_->[0] }
          sort { $tsort{$Option{thumbsorting}}->() }
          map  { my $seq = m/(\d+)/ ? $1 : 0;
                 [ $_, $seq, (stat "$Idir/$_")[7,9], lc $_, rand 1 ] }
          grep { my $if = "$Idir/$_";
             # Sanity check. Minimal image size 100
             my $s = -s $if;
             # Skip MacOS working copies
             $if =~ s{/\._([^/]+)$}{/$1} && -s $if and $s = 0;
             $s and $s > 100;
             }
          # convert can't deal with .ico files (yet)
          # Tk can deal with Tiff/NEF as of 804.027_501 with Tk::TIFF
          grep m/\.(jpe?g|gif|x[pb]m|png|bmp|tiff?|nef)$/i => readdir 
+IDIR;
