Example code for storing picture in MySQL DB

[Mimi Cafe]

Anyone worked on a project where they have stored pictures in MySQL db from
Perl program?  I need to store pictures in MYSQL and my initial thought was
a normal insert statement. Now I did a bit of search and people are making
it completed out there. I have not tried it, but I was thinking of grabbing
my picture and inserting into the table using a normal SQL insert like:

 $dbh->do(qq{insert into mytable (id, pic) values(1,$pic_file_name)});


Any experience on this?
