In fact, there are lots of C::A related modules that aren't plugins:

CGI::Application::FastCGI
CGI::Application::PSGI
CGI::Application::Server

And you'll note that they're all concerned about what happens before 
your application module begins to do it's thing. Dispatch has to happen 
outside of your application module because it in fact picks which 
application module to run based on the URI.

This will only work in very simple situations where you only have a 
single application module. I try to not have more than a dozen run modes 
in any application file, and all but the simplest of applications will 
have more than that.
