Hi,

I use a base class to handle authentication for my application.
It contains the cgiapp_init() and cgiapp_prerun() functions to read the 
user ID and to set up the database handle, and a setup() function which 
defines runmodes for 'accessdenied' and 'noconnection'.

The derived class says: use base 'MyPackage::Session', and the base 
class ('Session') says 'use base 'CGI::Application'. I do not meddle 
with @ISA.

When the cgi program runs it creates an instance of the 'derived' class, 
and then it calls cgiapp_init() and cgiapp_prerun() of the base class. 
So far so good. But when access must be denied I cannot change to the 
relevant runmode in the _base_ class, from within cgiapp_prerun(),  
with  $self->prerun_mode('name_of_runmode_in_base_class').

The error message is "No such run-mode 'noconnection'".

It appears that the program looks in the _derived_ class for the runmode  
'name_of_runmode_in_base_class'.

How can I fix this? I'd prefer to have the 'accessdenied' stuff in the 
base class, so I can reuse it for other packages in the same 
application.

Kind regards,

Martijn
