There are some edits you need to make to that, and you can simplify it. Also, the way you wrote it, the RewriteCond’s applied only to the homepage of example.com, which I doubt you meant.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z0-9\-]+\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|JPG)$ /path/to/perlscript.pl [T=application/x-httpd-cgi,L]

That will apply only to JPEGs. you might want to make it:

If I wanted to perform a redirect with htaccess to a perl script, how would I perform this, would an example like this suffice:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*example.com:80/*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*example.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*example.com*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|JPG)$ /path/to/perlscript.pl [T=application/x-httpd-cgi,L]
