Hmm. I wonder if this was at the core of the uploadInfo issue. I just got stuck in the same spot with the hash ref error and tried using 100% OO and 100% functional, and I got the same error both ways. Is it possible some files just wouldn't have a mime type associated with them?

update: I have to take that back: I found a "$q = new CGI" in an included module which I think was related. When I used this existing query object to call uploadInfo, it started working.
