	Hi Joe.  I wrote one guide that has helped a few people get started:

		http://www.modperl.pl/how-to/

	It's still a work-in-progress, and although it doesn't show you 
everything that you're asking for, it will get you started.

	Accessing query strings is covered in the Apache::Request module 
documentation -- "param" is the keyword to search for.  I recommend 
that you develop a clear understanding of how this works before 
tackling file uploads, because it will make the learning process with 
regard to handling file uploads a lot easier.
