As detailed in the manual page, you can add more parameters, such as tile size or the format.

If installed properly, the Graphics::DZI distribution should also contain a script deepzoom which can be used from the command line.

With it you can take an image (in any format ImageMagick can interpret) and generate the image pyramid as necessary for deep zooming with the Seadragon AJAX client.
