Mason resolves top-level URIs to components by looking at $r- >filename, then figuring out which component root that file is under. See HTML::Mason::Resolver::File::apache_request_to_comp_path. That's why Perrin's changing of $r->uri didn't work, and why Hans' strategy wouldn't work either.
The advantage of relying on Apache's filename resolution is that you can use Aliases, Rewrites, etc. The disadvantage is that multiple component roots won't work at the top level the same way they would with internal component calls. Perrin, just so I understand: you want to share some components, and have some unique components, for both the top-level and internal component calls?
