OK -- so i'm trying to get my head around this, and it's just confusing me.

where is $this coming from, and what is it supposed to reference?
how does SiteManager dispatch sub-requests in this case? i can see that a new EventManager is instantiated, but when I tried it, i got an infinite loop

maybe a better explanation of what i'm doing (or trying to do) is a better idea ...

essentially, the admin side of this site has various management functions ( email editing, email sending, event calendar population ), and i'd like to keep on URL for the client so that he can just bookmark (or remember ) that and be done with it.

because each 'set' of admin functions does different things, i'm trying to break those out into modules so that what got called for what set of functions is easier to find.

i'm anticipating a menu (top or left, doesn't matter) where links like "manage email" and "manage events" will be, and those are the 'sets' of functions i'm using.

i can see the links going to other CGI scripts, but the only thing that saves me, i think, is the confusion of trying the 'dispatch tables' i'm working towards now ...

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
