Great!

I think that is acceptable.  I don't think it would be advisable to
mix the styles in a single class.  However, I think it is important
that it work with a base-class that may use the standard CGI::App
system, and a sub-class that uses the attributes method.  From the
sounds of it, it should work.

I have another question for you about the plugin.  I noticed in the
current version, if I put the use
CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode in my base class, I don't
automatically have the ability to use the Runmode attributes in my
subclasses, and I have to add the 'use' statement again.  My guess is
that this is not a problem with your code, but the result of the way
perl implements attributes.  I am just looking for confirmation on
what I am seeing?

Cheers,

Cees
