Hi Barry,
I do not know what do you use for feeding your database, but in Perl you
shoud use the DBI module, and insert the binary data through bindings.
use DBI;
use strict;
...
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:image_db", "user", "password") || die
"$DBI::errstr\n"; # connect to the database
...
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT jpeg_table SET size_x = $size_x, size_y =
$size_y, image_data = ?;") || die "$DBI::errstr\n"; # prepare the insert
statement, replacing the image data with a question mark
$sth->bind_param(1, $image_data); # binding the binary data
$sth->execute() || die "$DBI::errstr\n"; # executing the insert
...
$dbh->disconnect(); # disconnect
