You can set your own runmode evaluator by passing mode_param a subref 
as in:
sub setup
{
    my $self=shift;
    $self->start_mode('login');
    $self->mode_param(\&getMode);
    $self->run_modes(
                     login=>\&login,
	....

I use it to differentiate between different user types based on login. 
That way, I can authenticate different runmodes based on the user type 
(and make sure they are playing in their own sandboxes). Additionally, 
you could have additional parameters that modify the runmode as in:
index.pl?runmode=ShowSomething&submode=ShowOnlyCompleteFields
