in reply to raw image data?

That means it's expecting the contents of the file. 
my $raw_image_data = do {
   open(my $fh, '<:raw:perlio', $image_qfn)
      or die("Can't open image file \"$image_qfn\": $!\n);
   local $/;
   <$fh>;
};

    Hmm... I tried a similar route before coming to the monastery: 
    open my $fh, "<", $image_file
    or die "Can't open $image_file: $!";
my $raw = <$fh>;

    Which I believe is the same as the slurp() function mentioned above. It failed. I tried your code too, with the same failure. The file has to be under 700K and my test files have definitely been below that. There must be something else going on. Unfortunately the error messages returned don't provide much help.

    Thanks for your help!

      Did you binmode the filehandle?

      It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.

        A flash of hope! But, alas, that did not work. I tried both 
        open my $fh, "<", $img
    or die "Can't open $img: $!";
my $raw = <$fh>;

        and 
        open my $fh, "<:raw", $img
    or die "Can't open $img: $!";
my $raw = <$fh>;

        I know my use of Net::Twitter works to post text, it's just this picture updating that is failing. I suppose it could be a problem with the module itself. Maybe I should try it with some LWP or REST mojo...?
