This looks great! I like the lower case params.

I like this a lot, too.

Would it be a bad thing to force mod_perl users to use a subclass of
CA::Dispatch? Something like this:
# in httpd.conf
PerlHandler MyProject::Dispatch
# in MyProject/Dispatch.pm
package MyProject::Dispatch;
use base 'CGI::Application::Dispatch';
sub dispatch_table { ... };
Just a thought...
