Perl still isn't happy with your hash in the call to set up run_modes in this statement:

$self->run_modes ({
        'logon'     =>  'LogonPage',
        'vlogon'    =>  'VerifyLogon',
        'menu'      =>  'MenuPage',
        'todo'      =>  'ToDoPage'
    }); #   your run_modes argument was not explicitly a hash - the br
+aces correct this
[download]

I still get

Can't use string ("LogonPage") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs"
+ in use at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/CGI/Application.pm li
+ne 90.

Changing back to

$self->run_modes (
        'logon'     =>  \&LogonPage,
        'vlogon'    =>  \&VerifyLogon,
        'menu'      =>  \&MenuPage,
        'todo'      =>  \&ToDoPage
    ); #   your run_modes argument was not explicitly a hash - the bra
+ces correct this

makes Perl happy .. no errors, and the first page comes up fine.
