Hello,

1. Why did this ONLY cause an issue with my file uploads (why had it never caused an issue with any of the other CGI.pm parameter handling between pages?)?

See Re^3: Uploading Files with CGI.pm results in 0 byte files

2. What can I do to clean that up? Or if that isn't worded right, what can I do to use CGI; in my package so that all pages that also use CGI; won't run into this problem?

Use a tool that handles preparing your input data for you (like CGI::Application). Check out My contribution to #584968.
