Exactly (but my data doesn't have any 255 value, 254 is highest). I don't think that's the problem because ImageMagick can convert the packed array to an image and it looks good. I don't know much about image formats or binary data. I learned that the array has to be packed like that by digging in this source code for Image::BMP.
