Maybe I'm missing something, but can you simply do this:
  $cap->redirect('/cgi-bin/app.cgi/home')

For "default redirects" like this, I added an entry to my configuration
file:
  main_page    /requests.cgi
And then redirect like so (if using CAP:ConfigAuto):
  $cap->redirect($self->cfg('main_page'));

For you, it would be something like this:
  home_page   /cgi-bin/app.cgi/home

The config file is specific to app.cgi (hence app.cfg).
