This is an interesting idea, so I thought I'd add my two cents and say
that you can already do exactly this with mod_rewrite. I guess it's
useful to have a perl module that does it as well, but sometimes
re-inventing the wheel is not worth the trouble. I can see the utility
for people who haven't got mod_rewrite... but still, it's small, fast
and works beautifully with mod_perl.

Something like this will do it:
RewriteRule ^/stuff/order_([^/]+)/id([^\.]+).html$
/some/handler?order=$1&id=$2 [QSA]
Just wanted to let everyone know.
