Apologies if this question is not well-formed; to some extent, if I knew what the precise question was, I'd already have the answer.

Anyway, I'm working in a system that has a number of CGI::Application classes, and I'm looking at converting some older non-CGI::App code into additional ones. Some of the new run modes will require a particular kind of authentication/login and should use an interstitial login phase before proceeding to the desired content. I don't want to bundle all those run modes into one monolithic class - I'd like them divided up by what part of the system they deal with. But I don't see a good way to provide the login phase to each class. At the moment, I'm planning a mixin class to provide the login-related run_modes, but something about that feels dirty.

Any suggestions?
