in reply to CGI::Application Question

This is the way which I have used the AUTOLOAD parameter with no problems (see trimmed code). I would recommend changing the hash key from an interpolated quoted value (") to a non-interpolated quoted value (') (given the success I have had quoting the AUTOLOAD hash key in this manner) - See perlop for details.
 
my ($application) = self->new(
    TMPL_PATH   =>  '../templates/signup/',
    PARAMS      =>  {
        'mode_param'            =>  'stage',
    }
);

sub setup {
    my ($self) = shift;
    $self->start_mode('1');
    $self->run_modes({
        'AUTOLOAD'  =>  'form_entry',
        'F'         =>  'form_submission',
    });
    $self->mode_param($self->param('mode_param'));
};
