Three options (in recommended order):

a) use CGI.pm. I cannot really believe that the overhead of its 
additional features is significant in any way.
It does load most of its features on demand anyway.

b) Add the header() function to CGI::Minimal.
You do not need to make a wrapper class (unless you want to put in more 
stuff).
Since this is Perl, you can just add methods to classes at runtime:

sub CGI::Minimal::header{
	my ($self, %params) = @_;
	...
}
(in your CGI::Application subclass)

c) Tell CGI::Application not to output headers,  but print them yourself

$app->header_type('none')
