Well, I've fixed it at last. It was probably not AutoRunmodes' fault in 
the end, but one or more of a combination of two plugins - 
CAP::ErrorPage & CAP::DebugScreen - plus some errors in my code (like 
using $self in the LOG_DISPATCH_OPTIONS callback!!) and the use of a 
custom SIG{__DIE__} handler in my Dispatch class, that collectively was 
causing a number of problems (session & flash handling mainly), as I've 
detailed elsewhere in some related messages. AutoRunmode now works fine 
with mod_perl.
