Try it this way:

use LWP;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $req = HTTP::Request->new( POST => $url);

$req->content_type('image/jpeg');
open(FILE,$filename);
$req->content(join('',<FILE>));
close(FILE);

my $res = $ua->request($req);

die("Bzzzzzzz, error!") unless $res->is_success;

You must set proper content type. And I just can't figure out why are you trying to base64 encode the file. Without the headers is base64 encoding pointless.

If server does not support direct upload of picture this way, you should probably encode it as a part of HTML form. Use content type of 'multipart/form-data' and you should probably use some (MIME?) modules to build up a content with proper headers.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
