I have limited internet access (can't do it on daytime at the office)
but I did a quick browse on sourceforge  and there are lots of similar,
but different projects on jpg picture filing...the thing is a lot of them
concentrate on the presention later and not much on inputting of
files (i.e. it gets tiring to submit a file
from the digital camera to a web interface if yur dealing with
100's of them).

I dont frequent cpan and to tell the truth I'm sortof on & off
on perl since it wasnt my primary language (though im coming to
it again now).  There was a GD library which I used but my problem
was that it handled only 8-bit graphics.  Are you aware of
any JPG file manipluation or any graphic module in perl that 
will do 24 bit JPG?  my programs are actually just scripts
that call the /usr/bin/pnm* command line picture manipulation
tools (and therefore inefficient).
