How can you possibly have hundreds of run modes (are they really tiny? how are they related? Can you draw me a picture? -- outline the app, it's functionality, the modules it uses, the enviroment it runs in .... a picture)?

Has it dawned on you to split this application up into 3-4-20 different applications?

CGI::Application will LOAD EVERY MODULE YOU USE, as would any other perl program if you use all of them. The alternative to useing a module, is requireing it (perldoc -f require), or simply eval-ing the use statement (perldoc -f use).

Any thoughts and recommendations to handling such a situation?

Yes, use strict, use warnings, use mod_perl, and don't worry about it (or, restructure your app -- can't really suggest how cause I don't have a picture).

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
