I use three runmodes for this purpose.
- login() presents the login form. It also optionally accepts an error message which it passes off to HTML::Template.
- validate() is the runmode executed by the login form. If the login is unsuccessful, it returns a call to login() with the appropriate error message. If it is successful, it calls home(). validate() doesn't display anything of its own.
- home() displays the home page. It's a passthru to HTML::Template, with the appropriate values for the specific user set. (It doesn't do any processing of its own - all the user processing is done in a base class.)
I hope that helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
