[cgiapp] submodes?

["A.M." <suppressed>]

I like CGI::Application- I really do, but for me it really is missing 
an extra layers of modes for clarity and security. Let me give an 
example. Consider a multiuser system with users:
admin
schmo1
schmo2
I could implement this using CGI::Application as follows (in sub setup):
  $self->run_modes(
                   login=>'login',
                   adminpage1=>'adminpage1',
                   adminpage2=>'adminpage2',
                  schmo1page1=>'schmo1page1',
		....
                   );
However, the runmodes are still "visible" to other users. I have using 
Apache::Session and authenticating the user every time (which needs to 
be done anyway) but the the above solution doesn't look "clean". I 
would like to be able to write:
$self->mode_params('user','item');
  $self->run_modes(
		login=>'login'
         		admin=>{
			page1=>'page1',
			page2=>'page2',
			},
		schmo1=>{
			page1=>'page1',
		....
                   );
The extra layer saves me typing
I suppose I could reroute using cgiapp_prerun and check for the second 
CGI param (here "item") or I could just have one runmode per user and 
grab the second one myself, but isn't that clunky and sort of what 
using CGI::Application is supposed to mean? If I use the second 
solution then I have as many runmodes as user types but potentially 
thousands of runmodes. Thoughts or suggestions for improvement on my 
part?
