Danilo,
Here's the tag I'm using and it works great:

Usertag image-size Order file show
Usertag image-size Routine <<EOR
sub {

        use Image::Size;

        my ($file,$show)=@_;
        my ($width,$height);

        ($width,$height) = imgsize($file);

        $Scratch->{imgwidth}=$width;
        $Scratch->{imgheight}=$height;

        return "size of file ($file) w=$width h=$height" if $show;
        return;
}
EOR

I've got it installed in the global UserTag folder, not in catalog.cfg like
you mentioned you're doing.  Are you using a shared IC installation?  Also,
I remember getting really frustrated trying to figure out what path to
define to my images, but I finally got it figured out with the list's help.
Here's how I call the tag:

[image-size file='/user/httpdocs__IMAGE_DIR__/items/[item-code].jpg']
