It's a little unclear exactly what you're doing, but I'm guessing it's something like this (code oversimplified but I hope it's clear):

sub myRunmodeA
{
my $self = shift;
my $isOK = blah (foo, bar)
...
}

sub myRunmodeB
{
my $self = shift;
fixBlahProblem();
...
}

sub blah
{
return if param('problem') eq 'true';
}

What you want to do is, if myRunmodeA finds a problem, switch to myRunmodeB. There's nothing particularly magic about the run mode -- once your CGI::Application has been brought to life by the user, you are a class, so you can just call myRunmodeB, i.e. (using code from my example above):

sub myRunmodeA
{
my $self = shift;
if( blah (foo, bar) )
    {
    #usual code
    }
else
    { return $self->myRunmodeB; }
}
[download]

(You might want to set the runmode before hopping into myRunmodeB, just for good luck. You probably do that with $self->{rm} = 'myRunmodeB', but this depends on how you set things up in CGI::Application:setup).

Hope that helps!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
