I'm not all that familiar with CGI::Application but I don't think you're doing the subclassing right. You shouldn't need @ISA at all. use base 'CGI::Application' should handle that for you. It doesn't look like you ever call the parent constructor. Here's how I would do it: 
package Foo;

use base qw(CGI::Application);
use Bar;

sub new {
     my $class = shift;
     # SUPER refers to CGI::App because of 'use base'
     my $self = $class->SUPER::new(); 
     $self->{ stuff } = 'whatever';
     $self->{ bar } = Bar->new(); # I wouldn't use 'super' as a key he
+re
     return $self;
}

# etc ...

Now in your script: 

use Foo;

my $app = Foo->new();

... should have access to all of Foo's methods and all of CGI::App's methods
