If you read the docs on Tk::Menu under image you will see: 
-image => value
    Specifies an image to display in the menu instead of a text string
+ or bitmap The image must have been created by some previous invocati
+on of image create. This option overrides the -label and -bitmap opti
+ons but may be reset to an empty string to enable a textual or bitmap
+ label to be displayed. This option is not available for separator or
+ tear-off entries.

Telling you to go look at the Tk::Image module to create the image.

If you want to use the 'images' from the Tk::Toolbar I think you will have to use the -bitmap option on the menu item rather than -image.

In addition, you have not used a geometry manager on your widgets in the code you showed us, so you wouldn't see anything anyway! Even the very simple example in Tk::Compound will give you some clues: 

  my $b = $parent->Button;
  my $c = $b->Compound;
  $b->configure(-image => $c);
  $c->Line;
  $c->Bitmap(-bitmap => 'warning');
  $c->Space(-width => 8);
  $c->Text(-text => "Warning", -underline => 0);
  $b->pack;
