You don't have to refer to $main::q. You have a ref to the object that works fine across packages. 

package Foo;
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();  # file upload (read from STDIN occurs at this poi
+nt
Bar::do_stuff(\$q);

package Bar;

sub do_stuff {
  my $q_ref = shift;
  my $uf = $$q_ref->upload(.....

In fact the object contains most of the data, everything except the actual file contents. The file contents are stored in a temp file the moment you call new() and the $q or whatever object just contains a pointer to it. The upload() method simply looks in the $q object to find out where the file is, what it is called, opens a FH on it and gives it back to you....
