Holli,
Thanks for the feedback. When I need to then write the data back out (i.e. just send the raw image to a database) how do I get a hold of it, is it possible to use the $image->Write???

Regards Paul.

Update: I can't seem to get the method you use of passing the filehandle ($fh) to 'Read' to work. I added a little to the script you made so it should print the raw data to the screen when viewed via a browser... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Image::Magick;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $cgi = new CGI;


my $file = $cgi->param('image');

if ( !$file ) {
        print header,start_multipart_form(),
                filefield('image',50,80),
                submit(-name=>'upload', -value=>'Upload'),
                end_form();
} else {
        print header;
        print "<br>FILE: $file\n";

        my $image = Image::Magick->new;
        my $fh    = upload('image');
        $image->Read(file=>$fh);

        my $big_image = $image->ImageToBlob();
        print "<br>DATA: $big_image\n";

}
