i don't think it's a bug.

Catalyst::Manual::Intro also says:

You can pass variable arguments as part of the URL path, separated with forward slashes (/). If the action is a Regex or LocalRegex, the '$' anchor must be used. For example, suppose you want to handle /foo/ $bar/$baz, where $bar and $baz may vary:

    sub foo : Regex('^foo$') { my ($self, $context, $bar, $baz) = @_; }
[..snip..]

If a Regex or LocalRegex action doesn't use the '$' anchor, the action will still match a URL containing arguments, however the arguments won't be available via @_.


have you tried adding :Args(0) to the action?

Seems that Catalyst first tries to match the full path, then tries to
match a reduced path. Adding a bit of debugging to Regex.pm's match()
method:

    Request = /training/webcasts/webcast_data/162/foo.html

    Checking [training/webcasts/webcast_data/162/foo.html]
    Checking [training/webcasts/webcast_data/162]
    *MATCHED*

Ok, so is that a bug?  Or am I not understanding the docs?

    # Regex

        sub bar : Regex('^item(\d+)/order(\d+)$') { }

    Matches any URL that matches the pattern in the action key, e.g.
    http://localhost:3000/item23/order42. The '' around the regexp is
    optional, but perltidy likes it. :)

So it seems that would also match:

    http://localhost:3000/item23/order42/something.else

but the "$" would indicate to me that it much only match the shorter
string.
