It's not about "stepping on" CGI::App. It's about that you're making
expecations of what CGI::App is giving you to work with.

But you are!
You want to be able to access $self->{foobar} without recrimination, but where
did $self->{...} come from in the first place? The mere fact that $self->{...}
exists in an artifact of that CGI::Application's underlying implimentation is
built upon a blessed hash reference.
'foobar' may be yours, but $self->{...} comes from CGI::Application.
