ok I got close, I tried this code that gives me part of the image and the text on the other side of the page

$fh->print(\'\titlepg');


            $fh->paragraph( \'\pard\pvmrg\phmrg\posxc\posyc\qc',      
+        
                'Company Name',
                 );

           $fh->paragraph( \'\background',              
                $fh->image( 'filename' => "images/CoreIO_front.png", "
+wgoal" => inches(8.5), "hgoal" => inches(10),),
                 );

this will give me text on the bottom of the image

$fh->paragraph( \'\pard\pvmrg\phmrg\posxc\posyc\qc',
                $fh->image( 'filename' => "images/CoreIO_front.png", "
+wgoal" => inches(8.5), "hgoal" => inches(10),),
                'Company Name',

                 );

but still can get it to go on top of the image
