The run modes that were mentioned are just a way to abstract the URL to a subroutine to handle whatever action is associated with that URL. C::A does the "if/else" logic for you. You just have to register the URL (either a parameter on the URL, or in the POSTed form) and associate it with a subroutine. When the application is invoked with that parameter (or form value) it will automatically call the subroutine. If you read those two articles you'll get the idea. There's a plug-in that might make it easier for you (but, I personally like traditional run modes): http://search.cpan.org/~jaywhy/CGI-Application-Plugin-ActionDispatch-0.91/lib/CGI/Application/Plugin/ActionDispatch.pm This lets you specify the URL with each subroutine. If the URL matches, that's the subroutine that's executed. No run modes.
