I was thinking about this, I think I can do something like: my $loc = $r->location; $loc =~ s{/$}{}; my ($loc_match, $rest_of_path) = $r->uri =~ m{^(\Q$loc\E.*?/)(.*?)$}mxs;
I will try it out when I get a chance.

In Apache2::Controller the dispatch mechanism gets the URI into a variable, then removes $r->location from the start of it to get the remaining parts of the path, to determine which controller method to invoke. This works for <Location> conf but not <LocationMatch>, because $r->location reports the string from the config block instead of the part of the path that matched it. If that is a weird pattern, then it is not found in the literal URI. Is there a way to get at what part of the URI matched the <Location> or <LocationMatch> directive? Thanks. Mark
