Well, I think this would have to go into CGI::Application itself not 
dispatch but in my plugin I have a method called rest_error_mode.  The 
main reason this seeming redundancy exists is because CGI::Apps error_mode 
is only used after the run mode has already been set (see sub __get_body) 
so it cannot be used if there is an error in the dispatch process itself. 
Perhaps the fix could be as simple as moving the call to __get_runmeth 
into the eval but I'm sure you understand all the ramifications better 
than me.
