That's acceptable enough, and should work (and, according to your
subsequent reply, does after fixing some problem with reading the
image).
If it's a simple as sending the content of an image file, you probably
want to just let send_file() do it.
e.g. send_file($filename, content_type => "image/jpeg");
You can omit the content_type option if you want to, in which case a
reasonable guess will be made for you based on the filename.
The send_file() keyword also understands a scalar ref as content to
send, so you could equally say:
send_file(\$image_data,
content_type => "image/jpeg",
filename => "myimage.jpg",
);
