You could just not do a redirect (which uses HTTP and makes the browser go fetch 
another URL). You could instead just return the run mode you want. Something 
like this:

     return $ok ? $self->splash : $self->error;

No, the request that follows an HTTP redirect are always GETs and you can't 
force the browser to do something else.
