I tend to group like actions together and have several different URLs
within one "application". This is what I would term the "subsystem"
approach. Using this method, I very rarely have more than 5-6 runmodes
in any given C::A subclass and never more than 10.

I generally have a C::A subclass that every app uses, then a child of
that for the specific app. Then, each subsystem inherits from that.
I'm just now getting into the plugins, so I can't speak to that. I'm
re-evaluating what I need to write based on the plugins. (For example,
I used to have my own redirect methods in my base C::A subclass.)

Does that help?
