Hi,

In Catalyst, you can use something like:

sub entry :Args(4) {
 my ($self, $c, $year, $month, $date, $title) = @_;
 [locate and print article based on year etc]
}
[download]

for a url like:

http://address/entry/year/month/date/title
http://address/entry/2014/04/03/foo
[download]

See the documentation about :Args. Arguments are also found under $c->request->arguments.
