Yes, sorry, should have said I'm using Dispatch, but it's not always 
helpful, as I have some rules that mean /myapp/foo/do_stuff points to 
the do_stuff() method in Foo.pm, but /myapp/admin/bar/do_stuff points to 
do_stuff() in Admin::Bar.pm not Admin.pm. So setting debug => 1 in 
Dispatch gives me "app = foo" in the 1st example - that's OK. But in the 
second, "app = bar", whereas I want to capture 'admin'.

And runmode is not actually what I'm after, eg default(), do_stuff() are 
all runmodes of Foo.pm, and it's 'foo' I'm after, as in 
<http://localhost/myapp/foo>.

Have solved it (I think) in the template using c.query.path_info, as in:

[% FOREACH action_links # hash defined previously %]
<a href="[% c.query.url %]/[% link %]"
   [% IF c.query.path_info.match('^/' _ link) %]id="selected"[% END %]>
   [% label %]</a>
[% END %]
