If you know the images have not been modified after being uploaded, then you could compare checksums (MD5 or SHA) for each file. An example might progress like:

use strict;
use Digest::MD5;

my (%files);
my $md5 = Digest::MD5->new;
foreach my $dir ( @ARGV ) {
    next unless (-d $dir);

    foreach my $f (<$dir/*>) {
        next if (-d $f);
        open(FILE, $f) or die qq{Can't open $f: $!\n};
            binmode(FILE);
            $md5->addfile(*FILE);
        close(FILE);
        push(@{$files{$md5->hexdigest}}, $f);
        $md5->reset;
    }
}

print qq{The following entries appear to be duplicates, };
print qq{and warrant closer examination:\n};

foreach my $k ( keys %files ) {
    if ( scalar @{$files{$k}} > 1 ) {
        print qq{\t}, q{Checksum: }, $k, qq{\n};
        print qq{\t\t}, join( qq{\n\t\t}, @{$files{$k}} ), qq{\n};
    }
}

This will give you output that looks like the following (actual file names changed to protect the clueless):

$ ./compare-test.pl .
The following entries appear to be duplicates, and warrant closer 
examination:
        Checksum: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
                ./file-01.txt
                ./file-1.txt
                ./file01.txt
                ./file1.txt
        Checksum: 520bd68306a6bd9aa586a80ee692c750
                ./file-2.txt
                ./file2.txt
        Checksum: 024cde173d464feee746320b300b5c35
                ./file-04.txt
                ./file04.txt
        Checksum: 3ef60d5a2fa552f395e154bb5418893c
                ./file-5.txt
                ./file5.txt

Hope that helps.
