I'm not entirely sure I follow all of that. Right now, our
PIPs::C::API::V1::Episode might handle:
/api/v1/episode/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/children/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/children/versions
And each of those needs a doc:
/api/v1/episode/doc/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/doc/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/children/doc/
/api/v1/episode/pid.b0070xmk/children/versions/doc/
It doesn't really look like your solution handles variable length URL paths,
will it?
So Catalyst doesn't offer any simple way of saying "globally match {^(.*)/doc$}
against a desired controller? (the controller for $1 in this case)

I can't find that "search" method anywhere in that code (forced to examine it
through the Web interface due to our firewalls).
