I hope you can leave the (base64?) encoding in the code as an alternative
mechanism (maybe #ifdef'd), since it seems to be The Right Thing (even if
CGI.pm et al don't currently understand it).

I browsed through you code briefly, but haven't tried it.  Is it true that
at most one file can be submitted in a form?  If so, that's a severe
limitation that should be removed if possible.  (although I don't know how
common forms with more than one file input field are).
