We're using AutoRunmode at work, and it rocks. It's even slightly better 
because you only need to add the "use CAP::AutoRunmode" line in your base 
class, and it'll work across all your subclasses. That's not the case with 
Method::Signatures (because the "method" keyword isn't a method itself).

No, it doesn't support attributes (yet):

I actually asked the same question there, because I was hoping to be able to do:

    method foo :Runmode {}

using AutoRunmode, but that didn't work. So I rolled my own :)

Right. I'll do that.
