How does your body maintain heat homeostasis by using perspiration?
Perspiration cools the body through evaporative cooling. As the sweat is turned to a vapor (drying from the skin) heat is absorbed from the body. http://www.answers.com/evaporative+cooling
When an animal sweats to keep cool what process is the animal exhibiting?
Evaporative cooling. As the perspiration evaporates it cools the body of the animal.
The most important function of perspiration is?

Do house humidifiers make your house feel warmer?
Yes. Your body cools itself through evaporation of perspiration. The higher the humidity level the less your body is able to cool itself.
Why does the body feel warmer on more humid days than less humid days?
Your body cools itself by perspiration; droplets of sweat are excreted through the pores and onto the skin. If the air is dry, and if you have a little breeze, the perspiration will evaporate quickly. This requires that the liquid water absorb heat from the skin and surrounding air in order to be come water vapor. This cools you off. If the air is still and damp, then the perspiration remains on your skin and does not evaporate. And doesn't cool you off.
