Adam,

Here's my understanding from a quick review of the source code:
(  vim `perldoc -l CGI::Application` )

There are a couple of possible cases, depending on your intent:

1. If you are going to return the second mode from within the first,
each of cgiapp_init and cgapp_prerun will be run once each. 

2. If you are thinking about calling the instance script, once to access
each run mode, then each of cgiapp_init and cgiapp_prerun will be run
twice, once for each invocation of the script.

There is more on Sessions with CGI::Application here:

However, there are certainly Other Ways to Do It.
