It's always good to have a sample...  As the image is black and white, I suppose the idea is to replace the white with blue. For this, you'd have to swap the colors for fill and color (color is the existing color, fill the new color): 

$image->Opaque(fill => 'blue', color => 'white');

Image/PerlMagick should handle upgrading from black and white (1-bit color depth) to an appropriate color image automatically.

(Works for me when I try it with ImageMagick (command line), so I suppose PerlMagick would work as well — but I don't have it installed here at work...  Update: (...now at home): it does work with PerlMagick, too, as expected. Complete snippet below — just in case.) 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Image::Magick;

my $filename = shift @ARGV;

my $image = new Image::Magick;
$image->Read($filename);
$image->Opaque(fill => 'blue', color => 'white');
$image->Write("colored_$filename");
