The Perl 5 module Path::Dispatcher is similar to the module Jifty::Dispatcher but its use is for the command line. The basic operation is that of dispatch. Dispatch takes a path and a list of rules, and it returns a list of matches. From there you can "run" the rules that matched. These phases are distinct so that, if you need to, you can inspect which rules were matched without ever running their codeblocks.
