Yes, the duplicate naming of fields will break your code as you're grabbing the params in a scalar context which will only return the first value. Here's a quick script that will show everything that is sent via your form (this is untested):

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Data::Dumper;

my %formdata = map { $_, @{[param($_)]} > 1 ? [param($_)] : param($_) 
+} param();

my $dump = Dumper \%formdata;

print header,
      start_html,
      pre( $dump ),
      end_html;

By the way, I'm glad to see that you've deleted dangerous environment variables and done other things to prevent hacking. Good job!
