Using Regex for that seems weird to me.

  sub member : Chained(/) Args(1) {
    my ($self, $c, $id) = @_;
    ...
  }
hans,

This seems to work, although, i'd have to add logic to have this member controller ignore the following types of urls

http://websiteurl.com/signup
http://websiteurl.com/members/ <= users see this as their url when logged in.

Not at all. You just add handlers for those URLs to your controller; they're more specific than the member handler and should match.

sub signup : Chained('/') PathPart('signup') Args(0) {
...
}

Are you sure you want to layout your URLs that way, though? You'll *never* need other top level items that might conflict with user names? If you put all the users under /user (or something like that) then they're in their own namespace and you won't have problems with name conflicts.
