ok. this design above i got to decipher now. it looks semantically really nice. thanks.

:) hmm, an offline dev env/test/decipher tool 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
## collect.t
## 
## 
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use TestCGIApplication;
use Test::More qw/ no_plan /; ## ok/like ...

my $out = collectQuery( qw/ / );
like( $out, qr/welcome/, "empty page is welcoming " );

$out = collectQuery( qw/ t1 t1 t2 t2 cbox oncbox / );
like( $out, qr/invalid/, "invalid input @args" );

$out = collectQuery( valid => qw/ t1 t1 t2 t2 cbox off / );
like(  $out, qr/Location/, "they're valid and i'm redirected" );

# ... more tests here??

Test::More::done_testing();
exit( 0 );

sub collectQuery {
    my $app = TestCGIApplication->new;
    $app->query( CGI->new( { @_ } ) );;
    return $app->collectPage;
}
sub TestCGIApplication::collectPage {
...
}

When you've got TestCGIApplication::collectPage and helpers working, you move it into TestCGIApplication.pm , , and start a new test file
