grr. today's not my day.

i have 2 different apps that use CGI::Application, and i want to reuse some of the common methods ...

after reading A question of inheritance, it might be that the inheritance tree isn't right ... but here's the code in question: 

package FlierAdminReports;

use strict;
use base qw/ FlierReports /;

sub setup {

        my $self = shift;

        $self->start_mode( 'options' );
        $self->mode_param( 'rm' );
        $self->run_modes(
                options      => \&searchOpts,
                summary      => \&orderSummary,

        );

}

normal setup, no?

i have a run-mode of 'detail' in FlierReports ( the 'superclass' ) ... but it's not being found. 

package FlierReports;

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use base qw/ FlierFunctions /;

sub setup {

        my $self = shift;

        # Setup the run mode stuff
        $self->start_mode( 'openOrders' );
        $self->mode_param( 'rm' );
        $self->run_modes(
                openOrders      => \&openOrderSummary,
                detail          => \&openOrderDetail,
                markDone        => \&markFinished,

        );

}

the attempt is to use the "detail" run mode in the subclass ( FlierAdminReports.pm ), but it get: 
 No such run-mode 'detail' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/CGI/Appli
+cation.pm line 133

so i need to export the subroutine? i've tried declaring the run-mode, not declaring the run-mode ( in the subclass )... nothing does "the right thing" ....
