I am trying to put an image (.bmp, .gif, etc) inside a wood frame.
Or in other words I am trying to fit an image exactly in a finite plane
(like the sides of a cube). Is there any suggestions?
And another thing.
How can I define the units by which I can mesure an object?
Thanks in advance.

Read in the documentation about image_map.

As you like it.

#declare meter = (1);
#declare cm    = (meter/100);

and so on, and then use it:

object
{
  sphere 0,0.5*meter
  translate 125*cm*x
}

box
{ 0, <1, 1, .01>
  pigment { image_map { ... } }
  translate <-.5, -.5, 0>
  scale <ImagemapWidth/ImagemapHeight, 1, 1>

  (other transformations...)
}

  The image will exactly fill the box. The height of the box is 1 and the
width depends on the aspect ratio of the image map. (Of course you have to
define ImagemapWidth and ImagemapHeight by yourself)

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Think the mention of a cube face being used for the image might need a
mention also about scaling the 'image_map' down ever so slightly in both
x and y dimensions so as not to cause interference with the other sides
of the cube. This goes for whether it is applied via map_type 1 with or
without the 'once' keyword. If you wish to leave a broader border be
sure and include 'once' in the 'image_map'.
