It's the question number 8 in FAQ (part of the manpage).
8 Q: What characters are allowed in TMPL_* NAMEs?
A: Numbers, letters, '.', '/', '+', '-' and '_'.
I don't personally see any problem to include colon in the allowed
characters. But why the second alternatif is more difficult to parse? If
you have consistent syntax, it should be simpler.
m!^(\w+):(\w+?)/(\w+)\.(\w+)$!;
$object = $1;
$id = $2;
$method = $3;
$attr = $4;
m!^(\w+?)/(\w+?)/(\w+)\.(\w+)$!;
$object = $1;
$id = $2;
$method = $3;
$attr = $4;
