I usually do this by building a helper method into the CGI::Application
subclass like so

sub setup {
        my $self = shift;
        $self->{_budget} = Budget->GetNumbers($var);
}

sub budget {
        my $self = shift;
        return $self->{_budget};
}

Then in any of your runmodes you can call

$self->budget->BuildSummary();
or 
$self->budget->BuildDetails();


Since CGI::Application makes you use an OO structure, you might as well
take advantage of it.
