If you want CGI:App to perform a specific run mode when you hit submit you'll need to do a number of things:
  • Declare the run mode in your setup routine. My declaration looks like (YMMV): 
          $self->run_modes([qw/
                        AUTOLOAD
                        report
                        master_edit
                        ... etc. ...
                        /]);

  • Put the desired run mode into a hidden variable in your form's HTML: 
    ... more stuff
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="master_edit" />
... more stuff ...

  • Finally, you'll need to code your run mode's sub. You probably know how to do that already. ;-)
