I agree with you assessment of where the problem is.

My suggestion for a fix is to see about getting the the routes prerun
before and your prerun behavior to trigger in the other order. 

<scratches head>

maybe this will help?: 

Instead of: 

    sub cgiapp_prerun { ...  }

Try

 __PACKAGE__->add_callback( prerun => 'my_prerun' );
 sub my_prerun { ...  }

I'm just guessing. You can also dump this to check the order
of what's registered.

    $self->{__INSTALLED_CALLBACKS}
