open(FILE,'<',$ARGV[0]) or die 'Error opening input file';
You should include the $! variable in the error message so you know why it failed to open:
open FILE, '<:raw', $ARGV[0] or die "Error opening '$ARGV[0]' $!";
while (read (FILE,$_,4)) {
Just because you ask for 4 bytes that does not mean the operating system will give you 4 bytes. You should verify that you actually received 4 bytes.
read (FILE,$_,$rec_len);
Same thing here.
if ($tiff_flag) {
The only place that you assign any value to $tiff_flag is at the beginning where you set it to 0 so it will always be false.
or die "Can't create image file";
You should include the $! variable in the error message so you know why it failed to open.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
