Re^2: difference between "use base" and @ISA?

To be clear, my problem is not getting my application to work. "use base" works for me. I want to learn the about the differences to make intelligent choices in the future. And thanks to the many helpful responses, I think I've got a chance of figuring this out. Thanks all!

Ok, now I'm confused. In your OP, you said: However, only the latter works with CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode which implies to me that something, well, isn't working when you don't "use base ...". I'm curious as to what it is that isn't working when you "`use CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode; push @INC, qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode);`" - what the symptoms are, etc., that "`use base qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode);`" fixes?

use CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode; push @INC, qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode);

use base qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode);
