Perl Difficulty

Hi,

I am trying to upload a file to a SQL database table. The column type is IMAGE. I am looking for a solution to upload a word doc file. I tried 3 approaches.

1) my $fileToStore = "mytest.doc";
open IPFILE, "<", $name;
binmode IPFILE;
while (<IPFILE>)
{
$fileToStore .= $_;
}
close IPFILE;

#then pass $fileToStore as a parameter to procedure.

2) use File::BLOB;

my $name = "mytest.doc";

my $file = File::BLOB->from_file($name);
my $fileToStore = $file->freeze;



3) use Stream::FileInputStream;

my $name = "mytest.doc";

my $file = FileInputStream->new($name);
my $fileToStore = $file->readAll();



None of the approaches are working for binary doc file. They are working fine for txt files. Am I missing something?
I tried few more things like $fileToStore = unpack ("C*", $fileToStore); but to no avail.

Unfortunately the version of perl on Dev is old and does not support encoding. Could you please help me out?

Thnaks in advance
