Cataly...lRegex(3pm)

💖 Catalyst::DispatchType::LocalRegex 💖

okay bestie, so this is the LocalRegex DispatchType page — it lives in the Catalyst section of the Perl docs (that's the 3pm energy, iykyk) 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

not gonna lie, this page keeps it mysterious:

See Catalyst::DispatchType.

like, just go read the main character over there 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💀 Status: Deprecated 💀

okay so we gotta say it straight, no sugarcoating: Status: Deprecated. Regex dispatch types have been deprecated and removed from Catalyst core. it's giving "the era is over" 😭

the recommendation is that you use Chained methods or other techniques instead. periodt.

and here's a lil plot twist for you — as part of the refactoring, the dispatch priority of Regex vs Regexp vs LocalRegex vs LocalRegexp may have changed. priority is now influenced by when the dispatch type is first seen in your application. so, like, order matters, bestie 🌈

⚠️ when this thing gets loaded, a warning about the deprecation will be printed to STDERR. to suppress that warning, set the CATALYST_NOWARN_DEPRECATE environment variable to a true value. your logs will thank you 🙈

---

🦋 what it actually does 🦋

this dispatch type manages path-matching behaviour using regexes. iconic in theory, deprecated in practice 💜

want more info on dispatch types in general? say less, here's the reading list:

• Catalyst::Manual::Intro for how they affect application authors 👑
• Catalyst::DispatchType for implementation information 🔥
