DESCRIPTION

CGI::Application::Dispatch uses its own syntax dispatch table. "CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp" allows one to use flexible and powerful Perl regular expressions to transform a path into argument list.

DISPATCH TABLE

The dispatch table should contain list of regular expressions with hashref of corresponding parameters. Hash element ’names’ is a list of names of regular expression groups. The default table looks like this:

table => [
qr|/([^/]+)/?| => { names => ['app'] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?| => { names => [qw(app rm)] },
],

Here’s an example of defining a custom ’page’ parameter:

qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page(\d+)\.html/?| => {
names => [qw(app rm page)],
},
