Hi all,
I have a MySQL-perl-cgi-dbi application which would like to store
images
and GIS info. Will dbi running with DBD:MySQL support these?
Yes, I think it will.
But people often frown on the idea of using an RDBMS to store binary data like images - there's a bit of a "religious war" on the topic. You might want to think seriously about it, and do some research, before you decide. Here is on article that a quick google turned up - I'm sure you can find many more:

It touches on some of the key concerns like performance and scalability, data management and backups, etc.
