A run mode is merely responsible for calling functions to manipulate the
data, then calling whatever display routines, and returning the output.

The functionality can be contained in other modules.

For example, CGI::App::Foo might be a cgiapp application module, and
have a handful of runmodes that call Foo::Bar and Foo::Baz to do their
processing, then Template Toolkit or HTML::Template to process output.

So you do not have to have the functionality of all your code in the
same module.

Now I'm not quite clear on what you're talking about with calling 50-100
run modes from a menu system.  Are these really all parts of the same
application?
