The PATH_INFO environment variable will be your friend here. What you'll
need to do is either in your mod_perl handler or the cgiapp_prerun()
method of your CGI::App is to grab the contents of the PATH_INFO env
variable and then set param()s accordingly. Your run modes will then
look for the contents of these parameters.
Let's say 'album' is your application instance script. PATH_INFO will
then contain the value '/view/5'. You could then parse it
something like this:
if ($path_info =~ m:/([a-zA-Z]*)/(\d+)/:) {
$run_mode = $1;
$record_id = $2;
}
If you're doing this in your mod_perl handler, you might then set the
appropriate GET or POST environment variable with this information. If
doing it in your cgiapp_prerun(), you could then follow with something
like:
$self->prerun_mode($run_mode);
$self->param('record_id', $record_id);
