I can't help right now, but I believe that PDF::Writer 0.2.0 (when
it's released ... soon) should be able to help with this, finally. I'm
going through and applying a number of bugfixes that are needed and
other enhancements.

Rather, convert the image to png or jpeg, and use pdfTeX...

Yeah, why do

  png -pdftex-> pdf

if you can do

  png -convert-> eps -lout-> ps -ps2pdf-> pdf
