Ah, it's so blindingly obvious when you point it out, thanks for this. Of course I'm doing exactly what your first example shows, but not for long.

Re^5: In CGI::Application cgiapp_prerun vs. cgiapp_init? (no reuse no run run )

    Well, apparently, (I guesstimate) since (some time around) CGI::Application 3.x it is no longer recommended to reuse CGI::Application objects, no longer recommended to call run repeatedly, as Bug #72909 for CGI-Application: persistence issues says CGI::Application is designed to have a new object created on each request. which is an assumption various ::Plugins and extensions make, so its best to play along and not reuse an object and not ->run ->run ->run

    You probably discovered this on your own :)
